#LGBTQ: Stars Are Coming Out in Droves… Like “Idol’s” David Archchuleta, Gov Cuomo’s Daughter Michaela, Dream Girl (+ 8 Others…)

By Trey Speegle on June 13, 2021 10:51 am

It seems stars are Coming Out earlier in their careers than the previous generation.

From the already famous to those just kicking off their careers, here are 11 young stars is openly embracing queerness. So many have chosen to come out on Instagram, the app is technically bi at this point.


David Archuleta

Singer-songwriter and former American Idol contestant David Archuleta now says he is a part of the LGBTQ community. But he says that shouldn’t mean he can’t be a person of faith, too. In a lengthy Instagram post Saturday, Archuleta said he came out as gay to his family in 2014, but then had similar feelings for both genders, suggesting

“a spectrum of bisexual.”

He added he doesn’t

“have too much sexual desires and urges as most people,” noting “asexual” is a term referred to people who “don’t experience sexual urges.”

Turner is married to Joe Jonas and has briefly touched on her sexuality in the press before, telling Rolling Stone in 2019,

“I love a soul, not a gender.”

Kehlani

During an Instagram Live in April over Easter weekend, the 25-year-old R&B singer-songwriter (who has long been a member of the LGBTQ+ community and has identified as both queer and bisexual in the past) said,

“You wanna know what’s new about me? I finally know I’m a lesbian!”

In the April/ May cover story of The Advocate, they talked also opened up about how their queerness is seen by others.

“I have a lot of privilege… cisgender-presenting, straight-presenting person.”

“I didn’t even really have to come out in my private life. I don’t walk down the street and people look at me and go, Oh, I bet she’s queer. Or I bet that she’s into women or anything like that because of the way I present. That’s all privilege and I think that there are quite a few artists who were truly at the forefront but weren’t able to make the strides that I was able to make being 100 percent myself because of the way they present and the biases and the phobias of the American public and the world…I’ve been lucky, super lucky.”

She then later confirmed on TikTok, saying,

“I finally know I’m a lesbian. I am gay gay gay gay gay.”


Emma Corrin

The British actress, who plays Princess Diana on Netflix’s critically-acclaimed series The Crown, referred to herself as “ur fave queer bride” in an April Instagram post where she shared a photo of herself from a feature in Pop Magazine, and many fans took that as Emma’s very own public coming-out moment.
