Here are 43 famous names whose stories may surprise you, and the list gets more interesting as it goes.

7. Joan Osborne

It feels a bit disingenuous for me to talk about being bisexual these days since I’ve been with a male partner for almost 10 years, but I have had experiences with women. I also believe that many people don’t fit neatly into the categories we use; human sexuality is more fluid than that.

8. Lili Reinhart

Here's what she said to Flaunt Magazine:

I knew full well that I was attracted to women from a young age.

That’s not something I wanted to deal with. But to my close friends and those in my life, my bisexuality has been no secret.Lionel Hahn / Getty Images

9. Margaret Cho

Nobody has ever really accepted that I’m truly bisexual. Nobody has ever allowed it. It’s still very much a point of argument between anyone that I’ve been with. People just don’t accept it.

It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad, when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.

In recent years, more and more celebrities are no longer afraid of admitting their sexuality.

With more prominent people coming out as LGBTQ, it helps those who remain in the closet to be true to themselves and love who they are as publicly as possible. They make us feel that nobody is alone in this journey.

Above all, they help people around the world become more accepting.
