When her father offered a fortune for a potential husband to turn her straight, Gigi Chao made a stand for her sexuality and made headlines around the world. She’s since become a spokesperson for LGBTQ equality, especially in her native Hong Kong where she leads a marriage equality campaign, and made a truce with her father that’s seen her become executive vice-chairman of his hugely successful property company

THE HISTORY BOY
When US Democrat Pete Buttigieg — the openly gay former mayor of South Bend, Indiana — ran his campaign to become the President of the United States, the odds, naturally, were against him. But before he stepped back from the race to the White House to back Biden, Buttigieg’s campaign was making the right headlines, and now, as Biden’s nominee for US Transport Secretary, he is set to make history as the first out and proud member of the US cabinet. Chris Bryant MP profiles a man determined to bring LGBTQ+ visibility to the forefront of a divided USA — and our Person of the Year
