We love it when famous people are out of the closet. That’s why we’ve picked 10 of our favorite actors, activists, musicians, and so forth to be on this list! As you read on, make sure you’re sitting down – your knees might go weak!
Matt Bomer
Super hunk Matthew Staton “Matt” Bomer (born October 11, 1977) is an American actor. He made his television debut with Guiding Light in 2001, and gained recognition with his recurring role in the NBC television series Chuck as Bryce Larkin. His other notable appearances have included the TV series White Collar, and our favorite, the Magic Mike movies! He has been married to his husband, Simon Halls, since 2011 and together they have 3 children. This means he is very off the market, which makes us cry a little bit.
Channing Tatum
Dream boat Channing Matthew Tatum (born April 26, 1980) is an American actor, film producer, dancer, and model. Tatum made his film debut in the drama film Coach Carter (2005). His breakthrough role was in the 2006 dance film Step Up, which introduced him to a wider audience, and he is also known for his roles in She’s The Man, G.I. Joe, 21 Jump Street, and Magic Mike. Tatum is known for being bi, as well as fully supporting the LGBT community at pride events. He has been married to wife, Jenna Channing, since 2009, and they have a daughter together. So, no, he isn’t available either. We’re gonna need more tissues.
Aydian Dowling
Gorgeous stud, Aydian Ethan Dowling (27 years old), is an out and proud FTM transgender activist who is currently in the running to become the first ever trans* guy on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Dowling came out as a lesbian as a teenager before identifying as transgender. He has made many headlines since his documented transition started on YouTube with his fitness program channel, BeefHeads. He is married to his wife, Jennilee, and kinda sorta wished he had married us instead.
Zach Quinto
Dreamy Zachary John Quinto (born June 2, 1977) is an American actor and film producer. He is best known for his roles as Sylar on the science fiction drama series Heroes (2006–2010), and Spock in the reboot Star Trek (2009) and its sequel Star Trek Into Darkness (2013). He is also recognized from his role in American Horror Story. He has been publicly gay since 2011, and has been dating model Miles McMillian since 2013. *glare*
Neil Patrick Harris

He is known for playing Barney Stinson in the television comedy series How I Met Your Mother (2005–2014), for which he was nominated for four Emmy Awards. He has been outwardly spoken for years in his support for the LGBT community, and definitely doesn’t hide his own sexuality. Openly gay since 2006, he married husband David Burtka in2014, and together they have two gorgeous children. We adore them so much!
Ricky Martin
Handsome Enrique Martín Morales (born December 24, 1971), commonly known as Ricky Martin, is a Puerto Rican singer, actor, and author. Martin began his career at age twelve with the all-boy pop group Menudo. After five years with the group, he released several Spanish-language solo albums throughout the 1990s, and became a huge hit.

Wentworth Miller
Sexy pants Wentworth Earl Miller III (born June 2, 1972) is an American actor, model, screenwriter and producer. He rose to prominence following his role as Michael Scofield in the Fox series Prison Break, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for best actor in a leading role. He came out in 2013, and has spoken openly about his support for the community and his own struggles as a gay man before his announcement. It’s ok Wentworth, we’ll take care of you.

Daley specializes in the 10 metre platform event and was the 2009 FINA World Champion in the individual event at the age of 15.

In 2009, Lambert came to prominence when he became the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol. During his very successful career as a singer, Lambert has been a constant active supporter for the LGBT community, having been out himself since 2009. According to interviews, he has “slept with a few closeted Hollywood stars,” and is currently single. We’re here for your entertainment, Adam.
Matt Dallas
Super sexy Matthew Joseph “Matt” Dallas (born October 21, 1982) is an American actor, best known for playing the title character on the ABC Family series Kyle XY. He announced on Twitter in 2013 that he was engaged to his musician boyfriend, Blue Hamilton, and they were married on July 5th of this year! Happy belated marriage, Matt and Blue (you lucky son of a…).
While we adore these ten heart-pounding guys, there is a TON of other LGBT and out people in all industries. With the community becoming more and more accepted across the states, we just know how important it is for those in the spotlight to come out and express their support. The more the merrier, we always say!
