Pucker up!

Dannii Minogue is bringing more spicy LGBTQ+ representation to the mainstream on the sapphic show I Kissed a Girl.

As the title suggests, contestants kick off their quest for love with a smooch the second they meet each other. I Kissed a Girl serves as the second season to the popular U.K. gay dating show I Kissed a Boy.

It may be the same premise, but women now get a chance at finding their soul mate! Plus, Minogue returns as the host, so what's not to love?

"More than ever, we've got to stick together. It doesn't matter if we're in different countries. We have to learn from each other. This is where I'm meant to be! I'm a very happy student," Minogue tells The Advocate.

Minogue has embraced her status as a gay icon for many years now. In fact, the star even joined her sister Kylie Minogue in a surprise performance last year at World Pride in Sydney.

"Performing at World Pride with Kylie was fun. I'm just doing what I love doing. It's a real time capsule of what's going on in the world."

The singer and TV host is beyond grateful to give back to the LGBTQ+ community, as her career is about to hit an incredible five decades.

Down in Australia, dedicated fans have even created a petition to have a street in Melbourne named "Minogue Lane" for her and her sister's undeniable impact.

"Myself and my sister ... we're very proud of our name and what that means to people. I don't know if it's going to happen, but we'd have very proud parents if it did."

I Kissed a Girl is streaming now on Hulu. To see the full interview with Dannii Minogue, check out the video at the top of the page.
