WalkAway Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 https://people.com/music/ricky-martin-honors-christina-aguilera-as-lgbtq-ally-she-uses-her-voice-for-us/ Quote Ricky Martin, Angelica Ross, Lauren Jauregui, Fletcher and VINCINT are among the artists to speak about Christina Aguilera's impact as an LGBTQ+ ally in this week's issue of PEOPLE Ricki Martin: Quote "Christina is a force! Her voice has become synonymous with greatness and the most commendable thing is that [after] becoming one of the most successful female artists of all time, she uses her voice as a constant ally to the LGBTQ+ community," says Ricky Martin, who released the duet "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" with Aguilera in 2001. "She is an amazing mother, a businesswoman, and a proud Latina." Lauren Jauregui Quote "Her video for 'Beautiful' was an amazing statement," says singer and former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui, who adds that "Fighter" and "Can't Hold Us Down" — songs also on Aguilera's 2002 album Stripped — "played a huge role in shaping my self-confidence as a little girl." Angelica Ross Quote For Pose star and singer Angelica Ross, the Stripped song that resonated most with her was "The Voice Within." "I sang along and cried to [it] so many times as a young trans girl who wasn't the confident woman I am today," Ross says. "I truly had to find my voice and took every single lyric of that song to heart. I have honestly been in tears every morning so grateful as I sing and affirm that I have indeed found my voice. I'm forever grateful for Christina." VINCINT Quote "I love that Christina has never shied away from being there for our community," says singer VINCINT. "She has been a part of multiple campaigns for AIDS research and the imagery in her music videos have promoted LGBTQ+ love. Since the beginning of her career, she has lived proudly as an ally through her art." Fletcher Quote "Christina Aguilera is one of the greatest voices of our time. Just as powerful is how she's loudly used that voice to uplift the LGBTQ+ community throughout her career." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this honouring was also coming from GLAAD but it's good nonetheless, there aren't enough allies so each and everyone should be celebrated and use their voice for the greater good.
