Celebrities Sharing Their Queer Identities in 2024

USAFri Oct 11 2024
In 2024, several celebrities have chosen to be open about their queer identities. This includes Sophia Bush, who got candid in a Glamour magazine interview, revealing she identifies as a queer woman and is in a relationship with soccer player Ashlyn Harris. "The word that best defines it is queer," Bush said, expressing her happiness with the term. Comedian Amber Ruffin also came out, sharing a joyful photo during Pride Month with the caption, "Be proud of who you are, little babies! I know I am! " Actress Julia Fox jokingly declared herself a lesbian in a TikTok video, apologizing to the boys. These celebrities, along with Maren Morris, Trey Cunningham, Louisa Jacobson, Sasheer Zamata, Amanda Tori Meating, Maya Massafera, and Bruce Joel Rubin, have all shared their identities publicly. While some, like Trey Cunningham, found coming out to be scary, others, like Louisa Jacobson, did so with style and pride. These stories show the importance of visibility and personal growth within the LGBTQ community.
