50 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were LGBTQ+
The LGBTQ+ community has been an integral group to performing arts since the beginning of entertainment itself—even if they sometimes refused to admit it. Over the years, there's been a steady increase in LGBTQ+ representation in movies, TV, and music. Actors, actresses, and musicians who bring entertainment to life are risking it all to be who they really are.
There's been a stigma around the LGBTQ+ community, especially on the silver screen, and that's made it hard for celebrities who identify as LGBTQ+ to speak freely about themselves and their identities. While there has been some progress in the entertainment industry, there's still a long way to go. We found 50 stunning celebrities who have come out as a part of the LGBTQ+ community. These celebrities are providing hope for their community and showing that members of the LGBTQ+ community truly are everywhere and can do anything.

- Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
- In February 2020, Jeff Bezos bought the most expensive property in California: a $165 million mansion. It was designed for Jack Warner (the former president of Warner Bros. entertainment company). It took a decade to construct (spanning the 1930s and 40s). It comes complete with 9 acres of Beverly Hills land, a main house, a guest house, a tennis court, a golf course, and terraces.
- Jackie Kennedy is famous for redecorating and renovating the interior of the White House. Actually, on just her first day, she ordered $50,000 in changes for new rooms for the children and upgrades to the kitchen. She later hosted a tour of the White House for CBS News which was viewed by 56 million people and won her an Emmy Award.
- While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
- Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
