1. Ellen DeGeneres. The coming out story of Ellen Degeneres is absolutely fantastic because
not only did she use her coming out to be honest about the world, her sitcom character
came out right along side her in a monumental television event. Before her breakout television
show Ellen, the comedienne was noticed for her hilarity in the comedy scene. Degeneres
came out in 1997 to Oprah Winfrey on her talk show and then her character on Ellen came
out to Winfrey playing a therapist. The show went on to become a platform for many LGBTQ
issues far before they were a mainstream topics. The actress and comedienne was one of the
very first to come out in Hollywood and led the way for so many actresses and actors to
follow her. Since 2004 she has been in a committed relationship with Portia de Rossi and the
pair are now married after DeGeneres proposed three years into their partnership.
2. Wentworth Miller. In one of the most brave and clearly heartfelt responses to an invitation
to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival in Russia, Wentworth Miller politely declined
with an open letter to the festival director posted to the GLAAD website. He came out saying
that he couldn't visit the country that he once loved to visit and can claim in some
of his lineage. In the letter he passionately writes "The situation is in no way acceptable,
and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country
where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love
openly." Now 42, the actor reminisces on his 20's when only his close friends knew
he was gay to his 30's where his friends, family and close inner circle knew about him
being gay. He feels much more himself being able to be out to all of his fans and interviewees
3. Ellen Page. Born in Canada, Ellen Page got her start on popular Canadian television
shows like Trailer Park Boys. The actress got her big break in America in Jason Reitman's
hilarious film Juno before going on to star in blockbusters like Inception and X:Men Days
of Future Past. She was invited to speak at the Time to Thrive event held at Bally's
Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, an event meant to promote the welfare of LGBTQ youth. The
actress came out in her speech, stating that she felt a social responsibility and personal
obligation to be honest about being gay. In her eloquent speech, Page cited so many important
topics like the perpetuation of unrealistic idolatry in pop culture and daily gender stereotyping.
Her show of courage was a noble attempt to pave the way for LGBTQ youth to feel comfortable
being themselves. Page is currently in a relationship with surfer and artist Samantha Thomas
4. Matt Bomer. The American actor has been working since 2001 but is most modernly known
from his work on hit television series' White Collar and American Horror Story. Matt
Bomer has known that he was gay since he was a teenager but he wasn't fully out in Hollywood
until 2012. That year Bomer was given the New Generation Arts and Activism Award at
the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards for his work fighting HIV/AIDS. Given such a visible
award inspired Bomer to be transparent himself. The dreamy actor made sure to thank his husband
of five years Simon Hall and their three children. After coming out to the general public, Bomer
spoke at a GLSEN event and inspired young LGBTQ people to be their authentic selves
despite pressure in high school. Aside from all of these exciting events in 2012, Bomer
was given an Inspiration Award at the GLSEN awards
5. Jodie Foster. The film and television actress has often been referred to as one of the best
actresses of her generation. She is one of the few child actors that found fame at a
young age and maintained (if not bettered) their status in the celebrity world. Her first
film was Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and she won an Academy Award for her portrayal
of a teen prostitute opposite Robert De Niro. One of the reasons that she overcame the downward
spiral that many child celebrities fall into is that she took a break and attending university
at Yale, a prestigious Ivy. In 2013, Foster had the opportunity to accept the prestigious
Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes. She took the chance and came out as a lesbian
to her peers in a witty, humorous speech that was well received by all. The actress is now
married with two children, the actress is loving her out lifestyle
6. Portia de Rossi. Before growing into herself, Portia de Rossi married documentary film-maker
Mel Metcalfe because she was terrified that being discovered as a lesbian would ruin her
career in Hollywood. The couple divorced in 1999 because de Rossi never felt right about
the partnership. A short time later she coupled up with Ringo Starr's step-daughter Francesca
Gregorini but remained in the closet to those on the Ally McBeal set. Unfortunately the
tabloids captured pictures of the actress with her director girlfriend and published
them. Despite the photos Portia refused to address her sexual orientation in any public
arena. After she met Ellen DeGeneres backstage at an awards show, the actress dumped Gregorini
and the pair soon became inseparable, and de Rossi contemplated stepping out in public.
At the end of 2004 de Rossi's show Arrested Development was nominated for an Emmy and
the couple stepped onto the red carpet together, this is the moment that de Rossi cites as
really coming out. The next year she opened up about her sexuality in The Advocate and
Details magazine 7. Rosie O'Donnell. The talk show host and
well known actress famously came out in 2000 but says that she tried to come out ten years
earlier. In 1992, Rosie O'Donnell was coming off of major stardom after her role in A League
of Their Own and as a result was being interviewed by Cosmopolitan magazine. The reporter just
came out and asked the actress if she was a lesbian and she responded surely and simply,
"yes." She spoke about this experience in a 2014 interview with Marlo Thomas on her
web series Mondays With Marlo. Rosie said that Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown
cut O'Donnell's admission out of the story but the actress isn't upset about it. She
admits that times were really different back then, that Brown was protecting her career.
When the actress came out publicly in 2002, it was on her own terms at the end of her
successful talk show Rosie 8. Jim Parsons. His role as Sheldon Cooper
on hit CBS series The Big Bang Theory was the breakout role back when the show started
in 2006. Before that he mostly acted on the stage making his debut in The Normal Heart
on Broadway starring as Tommy Boatwright. He received a Drama Desk Award for his work
and later reprised his role in the movie for which he received an Emmy Award. In his personal
life, Jim Parsons splits time between his home in Los Angeles, CA and Gramercy Park
in New York City. The way that he came out of the closet is fantastic because he was
never actually in the closet to begin with, but he didn't display it on the cover of
magazines either. When he was asked a question by Patrick Healy about how a role was pivotal
for him based on his homosexuality in an interview he was actually relieved that it was no longer
a question. Parsons has been in a committed relationship for the last decade, the actor
describes their love as "an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing
the clothes, taking the dogs out – a regular, boring life." Just like the rest of us
9. Holland Taylor. Since the early 1980's, the playwright, film, stage and television
actress has been a face that would be recognized by most American households. Her long, well
awarded career began on the stage in both Broadway and off-Broadway productions. In
late November of 2015, Taylor was being asked some questions about marriage on a radio interview
with WNYC. It was in this interview, prompted by these questions, that Taylor revealed most
of her former relationships had been with women. She also revealed that her current
partner was much younger than she was, this woman turns out to be Sarah Paulson. Paulson
is most well known for her work on American Horror Story and has been nominated for a
couple of Emmy's for her acting work. Taylor has been nominated for some Emmy's herself
as well as a Tony award, she is currently not acting in anything although she is currently
still with actress Sarah Paulson 10. Michael Angelakos. Singer, songwriter
and producer in hit band Passion Pit came out publicly in a magazine interview in November
9, 2015. This revelation was following Angelakos' brief marriage to Kristy Mucci in early 2013
that ended in divorce in August 2015. Passion Pit has always been known to create happy,
uplifting music about depressing, dark topics; a great juxtaposition to the life of Angelakos.
The star has been public about his once private fight with bipolar disorder that he came out
about after cancelling his tour during the release of his second album in 2012. The very
first Passion Pit album was a set of songs recorded for his then girlfriend in his dorm
room at the time and he credits much of his ability to deal with his mental health to
his ex-wife Kristy Mucci. For this reason we're in awe of the grace with which Angelakos
was able to come out and deal with his divorce 11. Tom Daley. British diver Tom Daley was
a world champion at the young age of 15 and he started diving when he was just seven years
old at the Plymouth Diving Club. Most recently he won a Bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics
in the synchronized 10m platform with partner Daniel Goodfellow. Daley also competed at
the 2008 Summer Olympics for Great Britain as the youngest competitor to take part in
many different aspects of the event. He has been competing for a long time and for all
of the time has maintained composure in the public eye. He eloquently came out via YouTube
video in December of 2013 where he stated that he'd been in a relationship with man
since earlier that year. He lives still with his partner American film screenwriter Dustin
Lance Black though he has stated that he prefers not to be labelled, that he still has some
sexual interest in women as well as men 12. Daniel Franzese. Franzese is an openly
gay actor that is most well known for his characters who also happened to be openly
gay in Mean Girls and the HBO original series Looking. Although his first breakout character
was as an the ultimate gay friend to Janis named Damian, Franzese didn't come out until
2014. It was April 22, 2014 when Daniel Franzese came out to his character Damian ten years
after the film originally came out. Franzese wrote a heartfelt and detailed description
of what it is like to be a gay actor in Hollywood. The letter is beautiful and honest and open,
just as inspiring as Damian was in the 2004 hit comedy. Franzese says that for years he
was denied straight roles because of his ability to play flamboyant and gay, he also says that
he's turned down an equal number of roles because it seemed that they were making fun
of the gay characters and stereotyping them. His honest letter has helped pave a solid
road for the young gay community to feel comfortable being themselves
13. Jason Collins. At the end of the 2012-13 season, Jason Collins came out publicly as
gay on the cover of Sports Illustrated in a piece written by Collins himself. The coming
out letter was featured on the website before being printed in the magazine and sent its
publication shockwaves through what at the time was a completely straight NBA. Collins
even stated that his chosen number '98' was meant to mark the very public and heartbreaking
death of young gay man Matthew Sheppard. He regarded it as a statement to himself, his
family and his friends about who he truly was. For his last season before retirement,
Collins signed with the Brooklyn Nets and soon his jersey sold out in stores. After
coming out the athlete has remained private about his personal life but has made strides
for the LGBTQ community 14. Reid Ewing. This American actor is best
known as Dylan from the hit ABC sitcom Modern Family; his recurring role revolves around
being Haley's on again-off again boyfriend. While working on Modern Family, Ewing has
had some small roles in TV shows as well as web series. The young man started his acting
career in South Florida theatre while studying at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West
Palm Beach, Florida. Before moving to Los Angeles and grabbing his awesome role in Modern
Family, Ewing also studied at the School for Film in New York. The young man isn't just
an actor, he can play banjo, guitar and piano. Aside from his work in the entertainment industry,
Reid Ewing has made headlines for his honesty about his life and struggles. It was in 2015
when Ewing came out as a sufferer of body dysmorphic disorder which caused him to get
several surgeries. The awesome way that Ewing came out was understated, when a fan tweeted
asking if a previous tweet was him coming out of the closet he responded with a nonchalant
"was I ever in?" 15. Caitlyn Jenner. Before transitioning in
April 2015, Caitlyn Jenner was known as Bruce an Olympic gold medal winning decathlete and
father of six children from three marriages. Cait is most commonly known for being featured
on popular reality TV show Keeping Up With the Kardashians starring Jenner's now ex-wife
Kris Kardashian and his two daughters with her, Kendall & Kylie Jenner, along with Kris's
children from a previous marriage Kim, Rob, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. Caitlyn Jenner
came out as a transgender woman which, aside from Alexis Arquette, is the first time that
a public figure has transitioned from male to female while in the public eye
