For celebrities, it is often difficult to keep certain aspects of their lives private, one of them is their sexual orientation. Fans and media alike often pressure celebs to make statements in response to speculation that arises.
That is why there are those who take their time to declare themselves part of the LGBT + community finally, and it is totally acceptable!
Here we present 7 personalities of the show that showed us that it is never too late to be true to themselves.
1 Juan Gabriel
He faced countless questions about his sexual orientation. This is due to the flamboyant personality that led him to be described as ‘too effeminate.’
It was in an interview with Fernando del Rincón that the famous phrase emerged: “What is seen is not asked.” So since then, his fans stopped questioning him and dedicated themselves to enjoying his talent.
2 Jodie Foster
Another actress who had to endure overwhelming media harassment to get her to reveal her true sexual orientation was Jodie Foster.
Interestingly, in 2007 during her speech of appreciation – for the award given to her by Hollywood Report r magazine – she named the producer Cydney Bernard, her partner at the time.
Later, in 2013 during the Golden Globes, she finally accepted that she was a lesbian through an ironic joke:
I have to say something that I have never mentioned in public before. A statement that I am very nervous about, even more, nervous than my publicist Jennifer. But you know what? I’m just going to say it out loud and very proud: I’m single… I hope they weren’t looking for a ‘coming out’ because I did that a long time ago in private.
3 Victor Garber
The Legally Blonde and Flash actor came out as gay in 2012, when he was 63 years old. Additionally, he explained that he had a 13-year relationship with artist Rainer Andreesen.
“‘When I came out was strange, because I never felt inside. But there was a big uproar, and I was just thinking: what is the problem?'”
Victor Garber explained that his partner at the time had a lot of messages on his cell phone, so he had a panic attack.One of the aspects that the actor applauds the most is the way the world has changed, as there are already more allies than haters. Of course, he invited people to be generous and kind in their day today.
4 Pedro Sola
A very beloved character on Mexican television is Pedrito Sola. Many people have followed his long career in the media, therefore, many began to suspect his true sexual orientation since no partner was known.
When the haters began to attack him, he accepted it proudly and has even been encouraged to talk about how he lived his homosexuality in a conservative Mexico.
5 Caitlyn Jenner
In Caitlyn Jenner’s case, she explained in 2015 that she felt like a woman trapped in a man’s body. For that reason, she underwent gender reassignment surgery at age 66.
In the case of the former reality TV star, her sexual orientation did not change (because she continues to be attracted to women), but it was a bit difficult to process so much information.
6 Nailea Norvind
The protagonist of Friends and Rivals is another famous Mexican woman who was empowered to confess – in an interview with Mara Patricia Castañeda – that she is bisexual.
«[With] the Norvind, bisexuality has been in our family … my mother was a bisexual woman, me, well, only male couples have known me, but I feel that bisexuality within me, because we have the feminine and the masculine In us”.
