11 celebrity lesbians you didn’t know (With Pictures)

Lea DeLaria

Truly a Renaissance woman, DeLaria began her career as a standup comedian and also proved her mettle as a jazz vocalist before landing her current starring role on Orange Is the New Black as Big Boo.A consummate actress whose first credit was a guest spot on Matlock back in 1994, DeLaria is a most eligible celebrity lesbian, albeit a challenge by her own admission. In one of her many quotable quotes, DeLaria said, “It’s a cosmic joke that I’m a lesbian because I understand men so completely and women are a total mystery to me. … Women are the most confusing, annoying people in the world.”
