The Most Powerful LGBT People on Twitter
Twitter has quickly become the go-to social networking site for breaking news, keeping up with friends, and making your voice heard. It is easy to see what celebrities have the most impact simply based on their number of followers. Celebrity gossip site Betty Confidential compiled a list of the top LGBT people on Twitter earlier this week.
So who made the list? Here is the Top 10:

I expected to see Lady Gaga and Ellen DeGeneres at the top of the list, but Lindsay Lohan? I’m not quite sure what makes her a powerful activist for LGBT community. Well-known stars like Glee’s Chris Colfer and Rosie O’Donnell also made the Top 30.
Who were you surprised, or not surprised, to see on the list?
