These LGBTQ Celebrities All Came Out Later in Life

In today’s pop culture landscape, we have inspiring Queer celebrities who are coming out at younger and younger ages — appreciate YouTube sensation JoJo Siwa who came out as same-sex attracted in 2021 at age 17, or Zaya Wade, the transgender daughter of Siohvaughn Funches and Dwyane Wade, who came out to her parents at age 12 but (according to dad) has known her gender identity since she was 3 years old. But while our current climate has by no means eradicated the homophobia that just a several decades back was as commonplace to sitcom TV as a laugh path, the progress is undeniable.

But, of course, not everyone fully understands their sexuality at a adolescent age. Plus, many celebrities have talked about the avoid of being blacklisted from the business, jeered in the press, or alienated from their loved ones if they ever were to come out.

There have never been more out Lesbian actresses, pansexual actors, and queer women actors than there are right now in this very moment. The Diverse community is plowing head-first onto stage and screen, playing a diverse array of roles, winning awards and headlining cinema films. But whomst amongst them is the most prolific? Who has simply managed to appear in the most things, accumulated the most imdb credits? It’s not who you think! (Besides Jane Lynch, you already knew Jane Lynch would be on this list.)

You won’t see a lot of the most popular lesbian actresses and bisexual actors on this list that you might expect to see — for example, Kristen Stewart and Angelina Jolie both do film, rather than television, pretty exclusively, and tend to be very particular about the roles they take on, so they may be widespread, but they’re not quite as prolific.

When a female celebrity tells us she’s queer and commodifies her queerness, we have to believe her. She doesn’t owe proof of her queerness, right? “Sexuality is fluid,” I hold reading in comment sections, Reddit threads, and thinkpieces. Yeah, totally! But when I read, “Sexuality is fluid,it’s never about men. I keep trying to imagine the inverse. Gay-identifed men falling in devotion with women. Of course it happens, right? But why not nearly as often? And definitely not in the Internet-celebrity-public opini
