Human Rights Campaign to honour Christina Aguilera
WASHINGTON — The nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization is honouring Christina Aguilera with its Ally for Equality award.
The Human Rights Campaign announced Thursday the six-time Grammy-winning singer is 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 the 38-year-old has raised money to fight HIV/AIDS, advocated marriage equality and spoken out against LGBTQ bullying. The group says Aguilera’s 2002 single “Beautiful” is an empowering LGBTQ anthem.
Aguilera will be honoured at the group’s dinner in Los Angeles on March 30.
