Taking a page from step-daughter Kim Kardashian-West's book, Olympian and reality star Bruce Jenner made a huge splash online and shocked the world when he finally came out as a transgender woman and unveiled Caitlyn through a magazine shoot.
Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus admitted that she was "pansexual" this July. As reported by Gay Star News, she told Paper Magazine that she's "literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age."
There have also been several athletes who opened up about their sexualities to the public.
Rugby players Keegan Hurst and Sam Stanley, baseball player David Dennison, soccer star Ramona Bachmann, and pro-wrestler Matt Cage.
They revealed that they hid who they really were from the people around them, which resulted to depression and even suicidal thoughts to some.
Model Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp, announced her sexuality through the Self Evident Project, which shows photos of people who do not identify themselves as "straight."
On the other hand, "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett came out to Ellen DeGeneres after fans questioned him about his sexuality (he plays a gay singer-songwriter in the TV series).
