The anti-suicide group, The Trevor Project, is honoring Lil Nas X.
They have officially named him Suicide Prevention Advocate of the Year.
In a statement about him, they said his “vulnerability in his journey to self acceptance and expression has created space for candid conversations around mental health and sexual identity, signaling to LGBTQ youth that they are not alone.”
They added, “The Trevor Project’s research shows that over 80% of LGBTQ youth say that LGBTQ celebrities positively influence how they feel about being LGBTQ, further affirming the cultural impact of Lil Nas X being proud of who he is and an ideal recipient of this inaugural award.”
Are you looking forward to his new album?
