  • For Black women, representation is crucial. It's important they see themselves in media, art and within the queer community. While it's a brave and radical act to be openly gay, there are many queer Black women who choose to be authentically themselves despite it all.

The article from MSN highlights eight Black lesbian celebrities who are openly embracing their identities and contributing significantly to both the entertainment industry and advocacy for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. It features personalities like Janelle Monáe, known for her music and advocacy for queer rights; Lena Waithe, who has made history with her Emmy win and her work in television; and Wanda Sykes, a comedian who has been a prominent voice for gay rights. Other notable figures include Raven-Symoné, who has been open about her sexuality since her time on "The View"; Kehlani, who uses her platform to discuss her pansexuality and support for the community; and Syd, a musician who has been out since her teenage years. The article also mentions Queen Latifah, who, despite being less vocal about her personal life, has been a supportive figure within the community, and Da Brat, who came out later in her career. Each of these women not only entertains but also serves as a beacon of representation and inspiration for many in the Black and queer communities.
