Jane Wagner And Lily Tomlin

Even though Grace and Frankie star Lily Tomlin has always been the face of the couple, Jane Wagner is quite a celebrity herself. Did you know she's won 6 Emmy Awards and 2 Sundance Film Festival awards?

Garry Kief And Barry Manilow

In a career spanning 50 years, singer and song-writer Barry Manilow is one of the greatest A-list stars on this list. He was always regarded as a major heartthrob among women, which is maybe why he decided to keep his sexuality a secret during the prime-time of his career.

It wasn't until 2017 that he publicly came out, confessing that he had been in a secret relationship with TV executive Garry Kief since 1978. The couple got secretly married in 2014 as soon as gay marriage became legal in California. Currently, Kief is Manilow's husband, best friend, and manager.

George Takei rose to fame in the late 60s thanks to his role as Sulu in the Star Trek series, but it wasn't until a few decades later that he decided to publicly come out.

The couple got married in June 2020 in a private ceremony with only six guests, mainly due to the covid pandemic. 2020 was a pretty tough year, but every cloud has its silver lining!

Alex Sykes And Wanda Sykes

Very much like Raven-Symoné, writer and comedian Wanda Sykes has always been an LGBTQ+ rights and gay marriage activist. She came out in a rally in opposition to Proposition 8, which definitely took everyone by surprise, considering she had been married to Dave Hall for 7 years.
