Human Rights Campaign Honors Christina Aguilera

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization is honoring Christina Aguilera with its Ally for Equality award. On Thursday, March 7th the six-time Grammy-winning singer was announced to be a true “LGBTQ icon” who uses her platform to “share a message of hope and inspiration” to those who have been marginalized.

The group says Aguilera’s 2002 single “Beautiful” is an empowering LGBTQ anthem. The group says the 38-year-old has raised money to fight HIV/AIDS, advocated marriage equality and spoken out against LGBTQ bullying.

On March 30th, Aguilera will be honored at the group’s dinner in Los Angeles, CA. At the same event, the Human Rights Campaign will present its national leadership award to Yeardley Smith, who is best known as the voice of Lisa Simpson.
