The LGBTQ Nation is filled with heroes – and we’re ready to honor them.
But with so many potential honorees we had to winnow it down a little. Now it’s time for you to help us choose the final winners.
We picked eight categories that represent different kinds of people who are doing important work, and they truly reflect the best of our community.

Winners will be announced shortly after voting is closed, along with the Hometown Hero chosen from the nominees submitted by readers in August.
