By Marni Zipper, Audacy

As we begin to wind down our our Celebrations In Pride series, we not only remember that Pride is something to acknowledge year round, but Audacy asked some of our favorite Pop artists what to say to someone who is struggling to come out.

Check out the powerful answers from Ava Max, Zara Larsson, Todrick Hall, and Lisa Loeb as we continue to highlight the amazing diversity, creativity, and ingenuity of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Celebrate Pride on Audacy with your favorite LGBTQ+ anthems, podcasts, and more right here.

“The best thing to do is be fearless and know that you’re going to be judged anyway so you might as well be who you are.”

Zara Larsson

“I don’t know if that’s my question to answer because I haven’t really been in that situation. But I can say that just know that there is so many people out here who are just waiting for you and they are going to welcome you with open arms.”

“You have to be yourself. You have to tell your story. That’s what makes you special in life, is you.”

Todrick Hall

“If you are somebody out there who is questioning whether or not you should live your full truth, it is a very scary thing, but it is the most freeing thing ever, to be able to vocally admit to people who you are, who you love.”
