The journey to come out of the closet is one of the toughest journeys faced by our fellow friends from the LGBTQ+ community. The struggle of acceptance by family members and friends would definitely make this an emotionally taxing milestone in their lives.

Now that 2021 is coming to an end, we’ve compiled a list of celebrities who’ve come out of the closet in this calendar year. We tip our hats off to these public figures who have pledged to live their truth out loud.

Demi Lovato announced that they will now identify as non-binary and would now use the pronouns, they/them, in May 2021. They stated, “Today is a day I’m so happy to share more of my life with you all. I am proud to let you know that I identify as non-binary and will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward. I’m still learning and coming into myself, and I don’t claim to be an expert or a spokesperson. Sharing this with you now opens another level of vulnerability for me.”

In March 2021, Lovato also spoke about her sexuality on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. “It feels weird to me when I get called a ‘she’ or a ‘her,'” they explained. “I understand that people might have a hard time adjusting to it because it is something new, but I want to encourage people to keep trying. I understand that it’s a process to get used to. Sometimes I still mess up myself, but it’s OK.” They went on: “I’m still, every day, stepping more and more into the identity that feels right to me. Which is my pronouns being ‘they’/’them.'”

On an Instagram live stream on Saturday, 26th June, singer Utada Hikaru, one of the bestselling artists in Japan, came out as non-binary. Utada’s imaginary best friend, a teddy bear stuffed toy named Kuma, was also said to be gay.

In early June, Utada, via the Instagram account, @kuma_power (named after the bear), shared how the traditional gender markers make her feel uncomfortable. She stated, “I’m sick of being asked if I’m ‘Miss or Missus’ or choosing between ‘Miss/Mrs/Ms’ for everyday things. It makes me uncomfortable to be identified so markedly by my marital status or sex, and I don’t relate to any of those prefixes.” The 38-year-old singer also said, “Every time, I feel like I’m forced to misrepresent myself. I long for an alternative option, one that anybody of any gender or social standing could use.”

I keep seeing "why is there such a big fuss over celebrities coming out?"

celebrities have a ton of influence, so when they come out, it helps normalize queerness to the general populace, even just a little. we must keep celebrating these moments to culturally foster acceptance.

— izy @ REEDS on WEBTOON ❤️ (@zzsleeps) June 28, 2021

These celebrity- coming out stories are definitely important as it gives the power for others to be able to do the same and to be their true selves, fearlessly.
