When we invited you to vote for your fave queeroes, we were inundated with responses. It was incredibly moving to see your enthusiasm and passion for the leading lights of our community. It was also a potent reminder of just how much representation matters.
While there may be more out publicfigures than ever before, even in 2019 our voices are still far too often marginalised, discriminated against or silenced altogether. That’s why it’s so important to celebrate our own. It’s why DIVA has been here, shouting loudly and proudly about queer female excellence for 25 years – and counting!
