7 LGBTQ+ Creators We Love: Celebrating Pride Month 2026

At Movers+Shakers, we believe the most impactful, bold social campaigns are built by centering authentic voices that move the needle on culture.

To celebrate Pride Month, we’re highlighting 7 LGBTQ+ creators with unmatched humor, creativity, and authenticity.

Let’s dive in!

1. Findlay McConnell (@findlaymcconnell)

Findlay bridges the gap between high-profile talent and internet best friend. As a professional actor, dancer, and global touring backup dancer for pop star Tate McRae, his resume speaks for itself. Yet, on TikTok, he strips away the gloss for a self-aware, beautifully unpolished aesthetic.

His content formula is built on pop culture observations, awkward social moments, and storytimes, which makes his 630K+ followers across social media feel like they are watching a close friend rather than a world-class performer.

For brands looking to capture a hyper-engaged Gen Z audience overlapping with the dance, music, and comedy communities, Findlay offers the rare combination of massive cultural relevance and effortless relatability.

 

2. Rocco Forgione & Corey Martin (@rainbowdads)

Rocco & Corey perfectly balance a distinct perspective with universal appeal. While their son is undoubtedly the breakout star, they act as master producers, framing and editing the content so that his natural humor is always woven into a larger, cohesive family narrative.

Their brand can be summarized as "a family you’d love to hang out with." They lead with pure entertainment value, creating content around parenting milestones, family humor, and everyday life that builds a deeply loyal, widespread audience. For brands, they offer a heartwarming, high-retention environment that drives community trust naturally.

 

3. Anania Williams (@anania00 & host of @gaydar.show)

Anania has mastered the holy grail of social media: the instantly understandable, repeatable format. As the host of Gaydar, the premise takes three seconds to hook you: "Can Anania figure out if a guest is gay, straight, or a homophobe?" Backed by a BFA in musical theater and a minor in social justice, Anania’s hosting style is lightning-fast, theatrical, and deeply playful. The show’s massive success lies in how it turns viewers into active participants, letting them guess along with every episode.

Beyond the show's format, Anania is an elite interviewer who excels at quick improvisation and reacting without ever overshadowing the guests. This strategic, culture-forward approach makes Anania a standout for partnerships, as seen in a recent collaboration with Oribe for their "Proud to Be" Pride campaign, which centered on community identity rather than a standard sponsored post.

 

4. Gabi Ovalles (@gabi_livin)

Gabi has built an audience of 2.5M+ followers by sitting at the intersection of multiple distinct subcultures. While her sharp, androgynous aesthetic and streetwear looks draw you in, her expressive personality keeps you hooked.

She blends physical comedy, bilingual humor, and a signature self-deprecating wit to create content that appeals simultaneously to Gen Z fashion enthusiasts, the LGBTQ+ community, and Latin American audiences. Some of her most viral moments revolve around her Dominican household dynamics, featuring authentic, hilarious exchanges with her mother and twin sister, Dani. For brands, Gabi offers an expansive, highly engaged reach backed by a magnetic personal brand that moves seamlessly between fashion and raw, relatable comedy.

 

5. Jae Gurley (@jaegurley)

Jae brings the electric energy of NYC directly to your feed. Honored as one of TikTok’s Visionary Voices and a Logo30 LGBTQIA+ trailblazer, they effortlessly embody the vibe of "the bougie best friend who says exactly what everyone else is thinking." Their rapid-fire pacing, sharp humor, and highly expressive delivery turn everyday GRWMs, nightlife vlogs, and haircare routines into addictive, FaceTime-style entertainment.

Because Jae’s fierce confidence and quick wit transcend any single niche, their audience spans Gen Z urban professionals, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by NYC culture. They are an elite fit for premium brands looking to bring theatrical flair, unapologetic personality, and a touch of luxury lifestyle to their next campaign.

 

6. Sam Cushing (@sam.cushing)

Sam evolved from a fitness influencer into a holistic, multi-dimensional lifestyle brand. Instead of relying on typical gym aesthetics, he has built a polished "live well" ecosystem that connects health, travel, personal growth, and style. His measured, conversational pacing makes self-improvement feel deeply aspirational rather than intimidating.

With a partnership portfolio including Amazon, Bose, and Vuori, Sam is a highly versatile, commercial asset. His broad appeal spans Gen Z and Millennial professionals looking for authentic ways to pursue their passions. For brands, he offers immense longevity and authority, whether as a campaign face, ambassador, or event host.

 

7. Matthew & Paul Castle (@matthewandpaul)

Matthew and Paul Castle bring an incredibly heartwarming and educational perspective to the lifestyle and parenting space. Widely known for sharing their journey as a married queer couple navigating life, love, and accessibility, they create content that is as moving as it is entertaining. Paul, an author, illustrator, and disability advocate who is legally blind, often features alongside Matthew in videos that blend humor, daily routines, and gentle education about guide dogs and vision impairment. Their platform radiates warmth, inclusivity, and resilience, making them a dream partnership for brands looking to align with authentic storytelling that champions both LGBTQ+ pride and disability representation.
