"2025 is already shaping up to be a big year for queer visibility, with several celebs proudly coming out as LGBTQ+. In June, Modern Family star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons (Lily) came out as bisexual in a TikTok using a scene from the show. In May, singer Lola Young casually came out in response to a hate comment, and KATSEYE's Lara Raj and Megan Skiendiel both came out - Lara calling herself a "Brown, queer girl" and Megan confirming she's bisexual on a livestream."
"April saw Robert De Niro's daughter, Airyn De Niro, come out publicly as trans in an interview with Them. That same month, RuPaul's Drag Race star Valentina came out as a trans woman on her birthday. Actor Isabela Merced also confirmed she's queer in a Variety interview, and in February, Draven Bennington (daughter of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington) came out as trans. We love to see it 🌈 LGBTQ+ #comingout #pride #gay #lesbian #wlw #trans"
