Pop star Christina Aguilera was awarded the Human Rights Campaign’s Ally for Equality Award at the 2019 HRC Los Angeles Dinner and Auction held last Saturday.
Not in a position to attend the ceremony and accept the award herself, Aguilera took to Instagram to express her gratitude for having received the honor.
In the lengthy caption to a short clip by MsMojo.com highlighting her contributions to the LGBTQ+ community, Aguilera thanked her queer friends, by whom she is surrounded in the form of her “fellow dancers, glam artists, and creatives,” for having inspired “unimaginable strength” in her.
“I have crawled out of some of my darkest times thanks to the small group of people I surround myself with,” she wrote.
“The activists on the front lines of change have created a world for my friends to also thrive. These forward steps would truly not be possible without the perseverance of the Human Rights Campaign,” Aguilera added, recognizing the great work done by non-profit organizations such as the HRC. “That my voice and presence has made an impact thus far is more fulfilling than words can express.”
