Variety’s Power of Pride List is a celebration of community and of change makers, placing a rainbow-hued spotlight on LGBTQ+ entertainers who use their power to promote inclusion. This year’s honorees include everyone from trailblazing trans performer Elliot Page to “SNL” breakout comedian Bowen Yang and teen singing star JoJo Siwa. Join us in applauding the following 50 figures for their many contributions — and in celebrating all they do to personify pride.
David Collins
The showman
Six-time Emmy-winning producer Collins sealed his legacy long ago, as a creator of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” In 2020, decades after that show helped LGBTQ+ people gain mainstream visibility, he continues to push the culture though his banner, Scout: Last year he offered the voguing sensation “Legendary,” the doc series “Equal” at HBO Max and the wedding series “Say I Do” at Netflix.
