Long-time LGBTQ+ ally Dua Lipa named The Trevor Project’s mental health champion of the year

The Trevor Project has honoured pop star Dua Lipa with its mental health champion of the year award.

The “Houdini” hitmaker is the fourth person to receive the honour, following in the footsteps of Lil Nas X, Janelle Monáe and Dylan Mulvaney. 

The award is given to public figures who have used their visibility and platform to advocate for mental health awareness and issues affecting LGBTQ+ youngsters. 

The Grammy award-winner has been an ally of the LGBTQ+ community throughout her career, criticising Qatar for its track record on human rights in the lead up to the 2022 men’s football World Cup and calling out fellow artist DaBaby, who collaborated on the remix of Lipa’s “Levitating”, for making homophobic comments.
