From 2020 to 2024, Fast Company published an annual Queer 50 list chronicling the most powerful LGBTQ+ leaders across a range of industries. The list was a celebration of queer representation and influence in the highest ranks of billion-dollar companies and spheres of technology, politics, and entertainment.
In 2025, we have decided to evolve the list into Queer Changemakers. The new format takes a more in-depth focus on queer leaders across industries who are making impactful change during challenging times.
