Celebs We Didn’t Know Were Gay

Celebs We Didn't Know Were Gay 1 Sir Ian McKellan He's never really kept it a secret, but you may have missed the Anderson Cooper episode where the Hobbit star officially outed himself a few months ago. 2 Matt Dallas The "Kyle XY" star came out of the closet surreptitiously on Twitter early in January 2013 when he let the world know that he was marrying his long-time love -- musician Bill Hamilton. 3 David Hyde Pierce David Hyde Pierce has never really kept his sexuality a secret. But he's one of many Hollywood stars that choose not to discuss his private life at all. Consequently, many of his fans still don't know that he's gay. Lady Sovereign Fans of the British rapper have been curious about her sexuality for quite some time. But she didn't confirm those rumors until 2010, quietly, in an issue of "Diva" magazine. 5 Gillian Anderson Remember the X-Files? Gillian Anderson came out to herself back when she was in high school and had her first same sex relationship. She waited until late last night to come out to the rest of the world via an interview in "Out" magazine. 6 Kelly McGillis "Top Gun" fans will be surprised to know that Tom Cruise's co-star in the movie is a lesbian. She officially came out of the closet rather quietly on SheWired.com in 2009. 7 Matt Bomer Share on Facebook Matt Bomer is gay and living proof that the world hasn't come as far as it might in terms of equality. The "White Collar" star was actually turned down for the starring role in the upcoming movie "Superman" because he is gay. 8 Eleanor Roosevelt For the former First Lady, coming out of the closet was out of the question. But it has recently come to mind that Eleanor Roosevelt had a long affair with journalist Lorena Hickok. 9 Joan Crawford This classic film star loved a number of women throughout her lifetime. She even reportedly had a one night stand with Marilyn Monroe. 10 Cary Grant It wasn't safe for actors like Cary Grant to come out in the 1950s. But the "Charade" star's sexual preference was only a secret outside of the industry. He lived with another actor Randolph Scott for 12 years. 11 Suze Orman Remember financial advice guru Suze Orman? She's out and proud. In June 2012, in honor of gay pride week, she dedicated an entire episode of "The Suze Orman Show" to issues surrounding gay marriage. 12 Sarah Paulson Sarah Paulson doesn't just play a lesbian on American Horror Story. She's out and proud and was formerly linked to actress Cherry Jones. 13 Fiona Shaw In the UK, it's no news that Fiona Shaw is gay. But not many on this side of the pond know that the former Harry Potter and current True Blood star is a lesbian. 14 Victor Garber "Deception" star Victor Garber confirmed rumors that he was gay in January 2013. According to Victor, he thought everyone knew already. We totally didn't. 15 Raven-Symone The former star of That's So Raven didn't come out with much fan fare. When gay rumors circulated wildly around May 2012, she refused to make a public statement. But since then her relationship and breakup with former America's Next Top Model contestant AzMarie Livingston has been well documented.
