Pride this weekend, says she has been “proud to put a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community” throughout her career, including with her ‘Beautiful’ music video, “which features a gay couple, as well as a trans woman.”“I wasn’t thinking too much about it beyond wanting to show people owning who they are.
It was somehow taboo at the time, but it represented something so true. I still hear stories about how that video has helped people, and it means everything to me,” Christina confessed to People Magazine.“We’ve all come from struggle; We’ve all had to fight to be heard,” she declared, adding that being an LGBTQ+ ally “is not something that’s short-lived.
It’s in my DNA. Over the years, I’ve raised awareness about HIV and AIDS and helped families of victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.”She also admits that her friends in the LGBTQ community have helped her in ways that she will never forget.
