British LGBT Awards founder Sarah Garrett said: 'These awards shine a light on those who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the LGBT+ community, during what has been another very challenging 12 months for the community.

‘The nominees, which include an exciting mix of famous LGBT+ faces, allies and organisations have all demonstrated a commitment to advancing LGBT+ rights. 

'The awards on 24 June will be a huge celebration of our culture.'
