The value of gender diversity is not to build up a wall from traditional binary gender values but to create a friendly environment to embrace all kinds of individual souls that aren’t defined in the traditional perspective. It also encourages people not to waste their time and be whatever they want to be without any hesitation. In the binary gender value, we are bound to be categorized into either boy or girl in many perspectives of life, regardless it’s in physical, outfits, or even the way we talk. Have you ever wonder is it really that simple? It must have something more than simply choose to be a boy or a girl…right? In order to give you a better look at how to define who you are, here is the list of six LGBTQ+ celebrities that you might find the answers that you are looking for!

(1.05 million subscribers of his channel) He is known for his non-binary gender fashion make-ups and outfits, which perfectly emits his beauty and confidence. However, he still gets many criticisms on the internet for being who he is. But he believes that the best defense is a good offense, he strikes back with more of his beautiful dress up. (And of course with his fierce responses to those hateful comments.) No matter how the comments say about his looks, he stills put a lot of effort into his outfits in every video. Whether is his boy's look or her girl's look are all very entertaining.
