B. Scott has been included in 2016’s OUT100 list by OUT magazine. Each year, OUT magazine names 100 of the most compelling and influential people in the LGBT community.
According to OUT, Multimedia maven and androsexual B. Scott has come into his own in the past year, his cross-platform presence stronger than ever. At the 2013 BET Awards, he was instructed to dress more gender-normative, then plucked from his red-carpet-covering post. It was a slap in the face for the gender-nonconforming pop culture blogger, who was wearing a tunic, heels, and full makeup. But in 2015, he emerged from the subsequent discrimination lawsuit on a higher plane, with his own successful celebrity news and entertainment website, video opportunities, and an undisclosed settlement sum in the bank.

To God be the glory. I’m filled with so much gratitude and love. Thank you @outmagazine for the honor. #OUT100 ✨✨✨ “Multimedia maven and androsexual B.

B. Scott launched his gossip and pop culture news website, lovebscott.com, in 2007.
In an interview earlier this year with Forbes, B. Scott shared, “It’s incredible how much the site has grown over the last decade and continues to grow on a daily basis. Oftentimes, I forget how many people regularly visit the website until I’m out and about somewhere and a love muffin, what I call my fans, comes up to me to chat about a story we ran. It’s surreal to be considered the #1 Black celebrity blogger with one of the biggest voices in celebrity news and entertainment. That’s something that I’m very proud of and grateful for.”
