PUBLISHED APR 2, 2018

America has made some great strides in terms of LGBTQ+ rights. From punishing homosexuality, the US now celebrates it. But the discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community has often run deeper, making it tough for people to come out. This is why it's often very difficult for celebrities to address their sexuality. It is a major stepping stone is a lot of people's lives, and until the day comes that 'coming out' is no longer a big thing, we should celebrate the people who do.
