Looking for a quick mood boost before you start your weekend? Huffington Post’s Gay Voices has you covered: The almost-always-fun-news-source compiled a list of 20 LGBT celebrities who have made political donations or attended campaign fundraisers recently.

Ellen DeGeneres donated $30,800 to the Democratic National Committee and $5,000 to President Obama.
It’s inspiring to see people who have the platform and the means, thanks to their fame and talent, take a stand politically—hopefully it encourages other citizens to donate what they can, whether it be a small amount of money or their time.

Neil Patrick Harris co-hosted the Democratic National Committee’s $1,250-a-ticket LGBT Gala for President Obama.
Jane Lynch attended Ryan Murphy’s Obama fundraiser luncheon and hosted a $5,000-a-plate luncheon with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Which celeb is your favorite? And if you were famous, would you donate to a cause or a politician that was important to you?
