NBC Out has compiled its annual list of LGBTQIA+ people who are forging a path for the queer community. This year, the list honours individuals who are the first to be seen in their respective positions. There’s the first gay minister in Greece (Nicholas Yatromanolakis), the first gay Senate-confirmed US Cabinet official (Pete Buttigieg), and many first-time achievements for people from the trans community.
