20 LGBTQIA+ Plus Size Bloggers And Influencers to Know!
One of the first things I recommend for newly out queer people is to find their community and surround themselves with it. To follow LGBTQIA+ folks that look like them and identify similarly, because seeing your own representation in the media and on social media especially can be the number one combatant for feeling isolated and alone.
During Pride, I wanted to celebrate bloggers and influencers whose visibility helps to empower not only people of all sizes but all sexual orientations and gender identities to live authentically!
The following bloggers, activists and influencers can be found on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter – be sure to follow and support their work!
