Three LGBT People Honored on “Time” Magazine’s Most Influential People on the Internet List

It’s no secret that being honored by “Time” magazine is a big deal. When people make the cover of “Time” it’s a sign that you’ve truly done something special. Well, the editors over there have scoured the Internet and compiled a list of 30 people they feel are “most influential” on the web. And it seems we have three LGBT representatives who made the final cut.

Janet Mock, whom Time dubbed “one of the most visible transgender women in America,” uses her social media platforms to advocate for and educate people about transgender issues. She’s even managed to put TV journalists such as Piers Morgan in his place.

Tyler Oakely has found himself on yet another list of influential internet personalities. His 6.5 million YouTube followers have helped him become one of the most well-known gay millennials. Time points out that in 2014 alone he interviewed Michelle Obama, reported from The Grammys red carpet, and continues to advocate for the LGBT community and regularly helps raise funds for The Trevor Project.

Matt Drudge, the founder of The Drudge Report — which nets nearly a billion views a month — knows what people want to read about. The aggregation site drives a major portion of news site traffic and is frequently cited as a success in journalism entrepreneurship.

Congratulations, you three! You’ve earned it.
