Ellen DeGeneres

It was a whirlwind of coming out for comedian, actress, and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in 1997. She came out publicly on The Oprah Winfrey Show, appeared on the cover of Time magazine with the quote, "Yep, I'm gay," and then her character on the sitcom Ellen came out to her therapist, who was played by Oprah!

love this...although one day it would be great if being gay were a non-issue, these celebs coming out are still helping to make progress.
