8 Celebs Who Came Out Later In Life As LGBTQ+ When They Were Ready
Ellen DeGeneres: Age 39
In 1997, Ellen DeGeneres made television history by coming out as gay on her sitcom “Ellen.” This was a groundbreaking moment not only for DeGeneres but also for the LGBTQ+ community as a whole. It was a time when LGBTQ+ representation in media was scarce, and those who did exist were often reduced to harmful stereotypes. By coming out on television, DeGeneres challenged societal norms and helped pave the way for greater acceptance and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community.
Anderson Cooper: Age 45
Anderson Cooper came out at the age of 45 years old. In an email to a journalist, Cooper stated, “The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.” Cooper even says he knew he was different from the age of 6. “I’m not sure I knew the word ’gay’ at the time, but I realized something was up,” he said.
