All around the country, people celebrated the monumental event by displaying the rainbow flag. Even the White House was lit up with the colors of gay pride (take that Republicans). It was also reported by several news outlets that more than half of Americans support same-sex marriage, a number that has continuously risen for years.
In fact, in 2015, the idea of sexual identity has changed altogether, becoming a less concrete matter. You no longer have to identify as gay or straight, you can be bisexual, transsexual, pansexual, sexually fluid, or nothing at all—no need to put a label on it.
It should therefore come as no surprise that 2015 marked the coming out year for a number of celebrities and prominent people. While there’s still a long way to go to until we can say that all people have equal rights, 2015 was a year of great change and progress.
Here’s the list of some of the biggest coming out stories of 2015.
10. Lily-Rose Depp
Lily-Rose Depp is the daughter of actor Johnny Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis. At just 16 years old she’s already accomplished quite a bit for herself, having worked as a model for CHANEL and acted in a number of films. She made headlines this year for stating that she “falls somewhere on the vast [LGBTQ] spectrum.” What exactly does that mean? It means she doesn’t exactly identify as gay or straight—she’s “sexually fluid.” She represents a generation of people who no longer feel the need to identify their sexuality with strict labels. Proving that he’s a cool father, Johnny Depp said that he is proud of his daughter and supports her.
