Ellen DeGeneres
Of course, we all know that Ellen DeGeneres has been dating Portia de Rossi since 2004. Now, the two are married and are one of the world’s favorite celebrity couples. Ellen first came out publicly with that Time magazine covering, declaring, “Yep, I’m gay.” Shortly after that 1997 cover, she also had a plot line on her ABC show Ellen where she jumped out of the closet. When speaking with Diane Sawyer, she said, “I decided this was not going to be something that I was going to live the rest of my life being ashamed of.” Nowadays, she is a huge LGBTQ advocate, helping others in need.
