National Coming Out Day is a more private and personal celebration for queer individuals as they mark an important step in embracing their identity. While many public figures use their platform to come out, celebrities such as Sophia Bush, Amber Ruffin, and Julia Fox shared their journeys openly in 2024. Bush revealed in Glamour magazine that she identifies as a queer woman, while Ruffin posted a photo declaring her queerness on the last day of Pride Month. Fox jokingly came out as a lesbian in a TikTok video, and Maren Morris shared her support for the LGBTQ community during Pride Month. Track star Trey Cunningham came out as gay after the U.S. Olympic trials, and actor Louisa Jacobson shared her sexuality in a stylish Instagram post coinciding with her mother Meryl Streep’s birthday. Sasheer Zamata, Amanda Tori Meating, and Maya Massafera also came out in various interviews and social media posts. Screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin came out as gay at 81 in his memoir, showing that it’s never too late to embrace your true self. These public coming out stories highlight the diverse experiences within the LGBTQ community and celebrate the courage it takes to live authentically.
