No list of queer celebrities advancing the cause of LGBTQ+ rights would be complete without this daytime host with the most. When Ellen came out in 1997, the scene was completely different for those that identified under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. Because of the stigma that was associated with being gay at the time, Ellen took a huge risk in her career by opening up about who she really is. Thanks to her public outreach, she changed the game for the LGBTQ+ community in terms of their work in and out of the Hollywood limelight. Ellen has continued to be an outspoken advocate for the LBGTQ+ community alongside wife, Porta de Rossi, with her advocacy efforts including (but not limited to): speaking out against anti-LGBT legislation and challenging a presidential candidate on his anti-LBGT stance. Actress Jane Lynch has even called Ellen a "pioneer" for the LGBT community , and it's clear she's not wrong about that. 2. Miley Cyrus
