It's officially June, which means two things: Pride and Balenciaga jockstraps. You can celebrate that over on TikTok, where queer creators are dominating the For You page with content that is equal parts smart, funny and slightly chaotic. And to celebrate this year's Pride Month, the app is once again unveiling a list of 15 LGBTQ+ trailblazers who are doing the most.
The lineup is just as varied as TikTok itself, and if you're looking for fresh follows that will keep you entertained way beyond the month of June, this is an excellent starter kit. Spanning the fields of music, fashion, beauty and everything in between, these creators are cool kids who also emphasize community and inclusivity, seeking to empower viewers as well as entertain and inspire them.
