Is it really Broadway if it isn't a little gay?

Johnathon Groff

Since the release of "Frozen" in 2013, Johnathon Groff has become quite the household name. However, he made a name for himself as an original cast member of "Spring Awakening" way back in 2006, alongside his "Glee" co-star, Lea Michelle.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox is one of my personal favorites due to her role as Sophia Burset in the Netflix original "Orange is the New Black." She has been an inspiration and an advocate for the LGBT community, producing shows such as "TRANSform Me."

Neil Patrick Harris

Actor, writer, producer, comedian, magician, singer. What can Neil Patrick Harris NOT do? Harris has been in theatre productions such as "Rent," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Sweeney Todd," as well as TV shows like: "The Simpsons," "Quantum Leap," "Numb3rs," "How I Met Your Mother," and more recently, the Netflix original "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Alan Cumming

Alan Cummings has been in stage productions of: "Hamlet," "Accidental Death of an Anarchist," Bent" and "The Threepenny Opera."

John Barrowman

"Miss Saigon," "Phantom of the Opera," "Sunset Boulevard," and "Matador" are just a few of the AMAZING shows John Barrowman has stared in, along side TV shows such as: "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," and "The Arrow." He has also served as a judge and mentor on Andrew Loydd Webber's reality shows "I'd Do Anything," Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria."

Andy Mientus

Andy Mientus has starred in Broadway productions of "Spring Awakening," "Wicked," and "Les Misérables," as well as in NBC's "Smash" and CW's "The Flash."

Ellen Page

Personally speaking, Ellen Page has been one of my biggest inspirations since I saw her on "X-Men" for the first time.

Noah Galvin

Noah Galvin began his theatre career in "Les Misérables" as Gavroche in 2005 and began his Broadway career as the title character in "Dear Evan Hansen" as a temporary replacement of Ben Platt.

Ben Levi Ross

Ben Levi Ross was casted as the understudy of Connor Murphy in "Dear Evan Hansen" and was recently casted as Evan in the First National Tour starting in 2018.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
