Gay Celebrities’ Coming Out Stories

The visual artist shared a photo via her Instagram Stories of the couple embracing during a hike with the caption, “I couldn’t be more proud to be by your side @tayjschilling. Happy Pride!” Schilling later reposted Ritz’s image on her account.

The Emmy nominee also paid tribute to the late Marsha P. Johnson on Sunday by sharing a picture on her feed of the Black transgender activist, who was a prominent figure in the 1969 Stonewall uprising.

“Here because of women like you. Happy Pride my friends,” Schilling wrote, adding the hashtags #happypride #marshapjohnson #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter and #loveislove.

Blonsky, for her part, came out in a TikTok video of herself dancing and lip-synching to Diana Ross’ 1980 hit “I’m Coming Out” in her backyard.

“Hi, it’s Nikki Blonsky from the movie I’m Gay! #pride #imcomingout,” the Hairspray star, 31, captioned the clip.

Stars — They’re Just Like Us!

Sunday’s post marked the first time that Schilling has confirmed that she is dating a woman, although she opened up about her sexuality in a March 2019 interview. (She also famously played a bisexual woman named Piper Chapman on the Netflix comedy-drama from 2013 to 2019.)

“I’ve had relationships with men and I’ve had relationships with women,” she told the U.K.’s Sunday Times Magazine at the time. “It’s been about the person, not their gender. It’s a much more radical political act to not reduce oneself to a label simply to make other people feel more comfortable. I have had serious relationships with a lot of different people. I like to live freely. There are infinite ways to be in love; we just don’t have the language for it yet.”

Blonsky, meanwhile, previously dated actor Tommy Potoeski in 2011 and a man named Dani, whose last name she never revealed, in 2019.

But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
