The 31 Icons, living or dead, are selected for their achievements in their field of endeavor; for their status as a national hero; or for their significant contribution to LGBT civil rights. Equality Forum solicits nominations from regional, state, national and international organizations, activists, and the public.
 
The LGBT History Month Co-Chairs, Geroge Chauncey, Professor of Gay and Lesbian History, Yale University, and Sue Rankin. Associate Professor, Higher Education, Penn State University, review all nominations and recommend 31 Icons.
