representation over the course of her career.
流行天后 Christina Aguilera 以宏亮的歌聲、誇張的穿著和例如
「Genie in a Bottle」、「Fighter」等金曲出名，但這位超級巨星還在他的職業生涯中
倡議 LGBTQ 平權，贏得了同志偶像的地位。
In her Love Letter to the LGBTQ Community for Billboard, Christina called her
LGBTQ fans her fighters, heroes and the reason she loves what she does.
“The LGBTQ community has never had it easy,” she wrote. “The struggles each
one of you faces daily on an individual level and on a broader political and
cultural level are unimaginable, yet you keep fighting, you keep moving forward
trailblazing and beating all odds with love always in your hearts.”
在他寫給 LGBTQ 社群的一封信中，Christina 稱他的 LGBTQ 粉絲們鬥士、英雄
和他愛他的工作的原因。「身為LGBTQ的一員從來就不容易」他說「你們每一位每天面對
各種小至個人大至政治文化層面的不同困難令人難以想像，但是你們始終以充滿內心的
愛，不斷地戰鬥不斷的向前，開疆闢土並克服萬難。」
Here are five times Xtina has lived out those values:
來看看五個 Xtina 以行動驗證這些價值的時刻
She reminded us that we’re beautiful
In 2002, Christina dedicated her single “Beautiful” to the LGBTQ community,
and the Jonas Åkerlund-directed music video earned Xtina a GLAAD Media Award
for its positive portrayal of gay and transgender people.
In her acceptance speech, Christina dedicated the song to “anyone who’s been
discriminated against or unaccepted, unappreciated or disrespected just because
of who [they] are." In 2011, U.K. LGBT rights organization Stonewall named
"Beautiful" the most empowering song of the previous decade for gay, lesbian
and bisexual people.

他提醒我們我們是美麗的
2002 年 Christina 將他的單曲「Beautiful」獻給了 LGBTQ 社群
這部由Jonas Åkerlund 執導，正面描繪同志和跨性別的音樂錄影帶也替 Christina
贏來了 GLAAD 媒體獎。
在他的領獎演說中，Christina 將這首歌獻給「因為自己本質，而遭受到歧視、排斥
、輕視和不受尊重的任何人。」在 2011 年英國 LGBTQ 權利組織「石牆」將 Beautiful
命為十年間對男女同性戀及雙性戀最有力量的歌曲。
She called out myths around HIV
In 2004, Christina lent her face to MAC Cosmetics for the 10th anniversary of
its MAC AIDS Fund, which has raised more than $500 million exclusively through
the sale of MAC’s VIVA Glam Lipstick and Lipglass donating all proceeds to
fight HIV/AIDS since it began in 1994. In an interview promoting the campaign,
Christina made it clear that HIV and AIDS don’t discriminate. “[People] think
it can't happen to them or that it only happens to a certain stereotype or
gender, but it [can affect] everyone's lives."
他喚起對 HIV 迷思的重視
2004 年，Christina 出面擔任 MAC 化妝品旗下愛滋基金會的代言人，自從 1994 年開始
光是 MAC 的 VIVA Glam 唇膏和唇蜜就募集了超過五億美元，並所有收益用於對抗
HIV/AIDS。在一次活動宣傳的訪問中，Christina 清楚的告訴大家 HIV/AIDS 並不會對人
有差別待遇。「(有些人)覺得 HIV/AIDS 只會感染某些人或性別，但事實上他會感染所有
人。」
She advocated for marriage equality
In 2008, Aguilera spoke out against Proposition 8, a ballot measure amending
California’s constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry.
In an interview with MTV News, she said, “Why would you put so much money
behind something [aimed at] stopping people from loving each other? I just
don't understand it.”
她提倡婚姻平權
在2008年，Chritina 公開反對禁止同性伴侶結婚的加州八號提案。他在MTV的訪問中表示
「我不懂為什麼會有人把這麼多錢，投入在阻止別人相愛上？我真的無法理解。」
She made this visual love letter for her fans as a response to the rise of
gay bullying and suicides
For the accompanying music video for her single “Let There Be Love,”
Christina chose to dedicate the dance track to her LGBTQ fans.

Christina enlists kids, dancers and entertainers, including Nicole Richie and
Christina Milian, to hold up signs with phrases and words like “no hate,”
“equality” and “amo mi hijo gay” (“I love my gay son”). The video sparked
a social movement, for which her fans sent her selfies making the letter “L”
with their hands to represent the concept for “love.”
