53 Gay Celebrities Who Came Out in 2013

[The Pecman]

I just read this news story on Towleroad.com, and was really charmed by the amazing diversity of famous people who chose to come out of the closet over the past year -- some at considerable risk (like the news anchorman in Russia, who was immediately fired when he announced he was gay on the air).

It reminds me how much all of us have in common, but also how different we all are and why the broad definition of being "gay" doesn't always mean the same thing to different people.

The celebrities range from senators, athletes, actors, comedians, journalists, musicians, artists, and many others. Stories like this give me hope that things are getting better, a little at a time.
