Recently, Aguilera opened up to PEOPLE aboutbeing an LGBTQ+ ally, saying it “is not something that’s short-lived.”
“It’s in my DNA,” she explained. “Over the years, I’ve raised awareness about HIV and AIDS and helped families of victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting.”
“I also want to mention that my friends in the LGBTQ+ community have helpedmein ways that I will never forget. They’ve allowed me the freedom to be myself and share my deepest, darkest secrets with them,” she continued.
“I left the house very young to pursue a label deal, and my mom was busy raising my younger brother, so it was a lot of navigating on my own. On the road, my glam squad became my support system and family.”
Aguilera added, “The accolades and awards and all those things are nice, but what truly has mattered to me the most all these years is the connection I’ve made with people.”
