On the upside, the year was brightened a bit by some of our favorite celebrities coming out as queer. Here is a list of the celebrities who came out as queer this year (so far).

Ru Paul’s Drag Race contestant Bosco came out as a trans woman in a heartfelt Instagram message. 

“After filming wrapped this summer, I began focusing on figuring out what medical transitioning would look like for me,” Bosco wrote. “I started HRT [hormone replacement therapy] after getting back from Drag Race. I also plan to start exploring some surgical options in the near future.

“This is something that’s been on my mind for over a decade now. I’ve spent my adult life working in the food industry and have never felt financially secure enough to start this process. Honestly, I was also just flat out terrified of how I’d be treated. I still am.”

In April, singer Janelle Monae came out as nonbinary through an episode of “Red Table Talk” with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris. “I’m non-binary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman, solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the ‘he’ or the ‘she’,” Janelle explained.
