Mother's Day: 50 Mothers of the LGBTQ community

Happy Mother’s Day!

To celebrate, we’ve compiled a list (in no particular order) of all the women we feel we can describe as ‘Mother’. Be they activist, actor, model or musician, we’re talking about those who have supported us, educated us, kept us entertained and so much more.

We wish them all a Happy Mother’s Day!
