It is possible that someday the descendants will talk about our time: "The era of the numerous come-outs." World history really did not know so many people who suddenly wished to "get out of the dark," as the term coming out literally translates from English, and reveal their belonging to a minority, sexual or gender. If the great Irishman Oscar Wilde, for his frank confession of love to a dear friend, was found guilty of “gross indecency” and sentenced to hard labor, then the current stars reveal their intimate secrets regularly and with all sincerity. Let's remember the loudest cuming outs of stars.

“Shock writer”, author of the famous cult “Fight Club” and a fan of provoking the public with all kinds of scandalous ideas, surprisingly, for a long time he so carefully concealed his homosexuality. Fans were absolutely sure that he was connected by strong family ties with a woman.
One day, Chuck let slip that he was living with his partner, whom he met when he was working as a mechanic. This “mystery man” of world literature has not yet given out other details, saying only that they and their partner are not going to have children, since the children of all writers suffer from the narcissistic egoism of their terrible parents.

Elton John
This legendary musician made two high-profile cuming outs at once. First, he told Rolling Stone magazine about his bisexuality, saying that everything around was bisexual in a sense, and there was nothing wrong with that.
After a divorce from his wife, Rinata Blauel, the star singer admitted his homosexuality. Well, after a law was passed in Britain that allowed gay marriage, he legalized relations with his partner, filmmaker David Furnish, with whom he has two children born to a surrogate mother.

The Canadian actress very peculiarly celebrated Valentine's Day by making a come-out on this festive day at one of the LGBT conferences. The star is tired of tormenting, being silent, lying, hiding and feeling depressed.
Confessing and standing "on the other side of this pain," Ellen starred in the film "Everything I Have." The film tells the story of two women who are fighting for their love. Moreover, at the premiere of this film, the actress made another important recognition. She announced the name of her friend, who turned out to be the popular artist Samantha Thomas.

Jodie foster
To say that the cuming-out of this American film actress became “a bolt from the blue” for the general public would be an outright lie. Rumors have been circulating about the unconventional orientation of the Silence of the Lambs star for a very long time. She met and parted with dear friends with enviable regularity, until she entered into a legal marriage with photographer Alexandra Hedison, with whom she is now raising two sons.
Jodie made a loud official recognition of her non-traditional orientation at the Golden Globe awards ceremony, which the film star deservedly received for her achievements in cinema, and not only acting, but also directing.

Ricky Martin
The Puerto Rican singer for a long time and successfully concealed that he was gay and even by hook or by crook supported the appearance of a stormy romance with the popular TV presenter Rebecca de Alba. But after in an interview with one very respected British tabloid, he refused to comment on his sexual orientation, his personal life began to grow with numerous rumors and break the hearts of enthusiastic fans.
Ricky made a cuming out on his official website, informing everyone that he was gay and very happy about it. Soon after this high-profile confession, he began dating a young Syrian artist, Jwan Yosef. Then he made an offer to his beloved, received consent, and the couple got married.

Wentworth Miller
For a long time, the popular actor said that he was going to get married in the future, and explained the absence of the girl by a tight schedule of filming. In order not to harm his beginning career, Wentvor quite successfully portrayed a heterosexual, appearing in photographs with one breathtaking beauty, then with another. The film actor made his fireplace-out, categorically refusing to fly to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival due to the fact that he is gay, and in Russia people with an unconventional sexual orientation are extremely negative.
A little later, the press recognized that the star of the series “Escape” has many years of romantic relationship with the popular actor Luke McFarley, who has long been known as an open gay. They simply agreed for the time being not to advertise their old romance. Now nothing bothers them.

Cara Delevingne
For many fans of this vibrant actress and original model, her confession to bisexuality was a real shock, because Kara met such charismatic, rich, beautiful and famous men as Tyrone Wood and Harry Styles. Stormy novels, however, were not long-lived, but on the other hand they gave the public every reason to believe that the girl was only interested in young people.
Soon, Kara was spotted in the company of the infamous actress Michelle Roddriguez, then she met with American singer Annie Clark. Well, after the model admitted to journalists of her bisexuality, her new girlfriend was the daughter of Michael Jackson Paris Jackson. Will this alliance prove lasting? Time will tell.

Andrew Scott
This famous Irish actor made a fireplace out in 2013, although he claims that he always led the life of an open gay, and neither he nor his friends see anything bad or reprehensible in his non-standard orientation.
Andrew never invented "girlfriends for cover" and did not hide his homosexuality. But the star of the BBC series “Sherlock” also does not like to talk too much about intimate life, although everyone knows who his regular partner is. This is the screenwriter Stephen Beresford, who directed the film Pride, starring Andrew Scott. The couple have been together for over ten years.

Neil Patrick Harris
This cinematic lovelace and ladies man from the series “How I Met Your Mother” in real life has always been more than indifferent to women, which was announced even when the era of cuming outs had just begun.

As soon as the law allowed gay marriage, they got married. A married couple brings up twins, a boy and a girl, whom a surrogate mother gave birth to.

Ian McKellen
One of the most influential British actors and an active fighter for freedom of choice realized his homosexuality quite early, but keeps all his personal relationships, as they say, “behind the scenes”. He made his shocking confession to the Air Force in 1988, that is, at a time when cuming out was considered a rather daring trick, and even an attack against morality.
However, such extreme frankness did not prevent the outstanding film actor from continuing to receive “star” roles, he even received an honorary knighthood and became the British sir. Active support for LGBT people has not changed much in McKellen’s relationship with fans: he is still not very eager to talk about his personal life.

Jim Parsons
The winner of four Emmy Awards for Best Actor, a performer of the brilliant scientist Sheldon Cooper in the series The Big Bang Theory, did not even dare to dream that he would become such a famous actor. He did not expect that the secrets of his personal life would so quickly become the property of numerous fans.
Rumors about Jim's sexual orientation began almost immediately with the onset of fame, and in 2012, the actor spoke about a particularly reverent relationship with art director Todd Spivak to the influential New York Times. And although Jim was never a gay activist, he still starred as an active fighter for their rights, playing in the movie “Ordinary Heart”.

Kristen Stewart
The intriguing behavior of this movie star has always been the focus of the excitement of the public. She made violent novels with such famous men that her scandalous personal life was more interested in fans than creative success.

Cynthia Nixon
The performer of the beloved Miranda, who loves to discuss men, from Sex and the City, for a long time considered herself a heterosexual and was married to a British scientist Danny Moses.

Now the spouses together raise their common son Max and actively participate in all actions and events of the LGBT community.
