- Victor Madrigal-Borloz, UN Independent Expert on violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity
- Xin Ying, executive director of the Beijing LGBT Center
- Mihika Srivastava, communication program officer at the Astraea public foundation, funding LGBTQ+ organizations around the world.
