The Independent On Sunday 

PINK LIST 2012
Published: Sunday 4th November 2012.

More than 1,500 voted for the influential lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who, you feel, make Britain safer, fairer, better and more entertaining. More than 250 nominees' names were run past our panel of judges: two magazine editors, a teacher and LGBT schools adviser, a film maker, a charity CEO, and the Chief Executive of Stonewall. They wrestled with the knotty question of who was most influential in 2012. Being and Olympic year, not surprisingly, sports people are high on the list. We hope it surprises, amuses, challenges and inspires you.

TOP 20 FROM THE 'PINK LIST' 2012

#1 (new entry) Nicola Adams - Olympian

Picture: Charlie Condou and partner Cameron Laux at the Diversity Carnival auction and event Oct 2012

As well as playing TV's most swoonsome gay character, the Corrie star is an impassioned gay-rights advocate, speaking and writing across a range of topics. A father of two, he recently branded fellow thespian Rupert Everett "a dinosaur" for his critical views on gay parenting. 

On the world stage Charlie is known in Canada, America, NZ and Australia and is more recognised as a role model internationally than some of his fellow list makers. His quiet determination to entertain, educate and inform has kept him planted steadfastly in the Top 20 again this year.

#17 (new entry) Sir Paul Jenkins - Treasury Solicitor 

#18 (last year 3) Jessie J – Singer
