It is our intention to paint a landscape, to knit a quilt of LGBT people of colour who are LOUD in their beingness in the world. Some of these people are influencing our culture, many of them we follow daily, a few are our muses. There are those on this list who are behind the scenes whose faces and names are never seen or heard, and there are those who are so LOUD in our wold that they make us proud to be gay people of colour…here is our uniquely diverse list; some rich, some powerful, and some influential in only their area of expertise.
