Janelle had previously come out as pansexual in 2018, but during one episode of Red Table Talk in April, she came out as nonbinary. They employ the pronouns she/her and they/them and say, “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.’ And if I am from God, I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am, beyond the binary.”

Aunjanue has been openly bisexual for years, yet she has never spoken to the public about her personal life because “nobody asked.” She donned a blazer having the word “Queer” inscribed on the sleeve earlier this year, but few people saw or thought she was officially coming out. She said, “I was thinking, ‘Why didn’t more people pay attention to that?’ And I was like, they probably thought it said ‘Queen.'”

In an interview with Pride, he revealed that he is nonbinary. He shared, while discussing his previous portrayal as Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, “Lately I’ve been getting a little bit of flack from some people saying only trans people can play that role because it’s a trans role. I’m not trans, I’m non-binary, but that’s a slippery slope because the character is forced into an operation and is not really trans.”

Jerrod comes out as gay in his new HBO comedy special, Rothaniel. He explained, “I was left alone feeling like a liar, because I had a secret. One that I kept from my father, my mother, my family, my friends, and you. Professionally, personally. And the secret is that I’m gay… I’m accepting the love; I really appreciate the love. My ego wants to rebel against it… I rebelled against it my whole life. I thought I’d never, ever come out. At many points I thought I’d rather die than confront the truth of that, to actually say it to people. Because I know it changes some people’s perceptions of me. I can’t control that.”

Maria came out as bisexual in public after claiming she’d been spotted by a dating app when a buddy noticed her preferences. She shared, “I grew up having crushes on girls in school and just completely invalidated it because of religion and also because there were many homophobic sentiments in my school around being a lesbian, around anything other than heteronormativity. You don’t have a lot of bisexual visibility in popular culture and so you don’t understand what it is.”

Jessica said in an interview with People that she had always identified as a heterosexual, cisgender woman before the outbreak in March 2020. “When the pandemic hit, I was at the peak of all this self-discovery and exploration. The shutdown really knocked the wind out of me. It wasn’t about changing identities, rather expanding my identity.” This past Christmas, she revealed her relationship with Chelsea Nachman on IG, and in February spoke publically about her sexuality for the first time.

Jasmine revealed she was transgender in an episode of Untucked. She shared that it was her co-stars who encouraged her to come out: “Before coming [to Drag Race], I was about to start hormones. And coming here, I was scared and didn’t want to have to go through that process. Seeing Kerri [Colby], seeing how confident she is in who she is, it just further affirmed what I’ve been feeling my whole life. So I, as well, definitely do feel like I am trans. And I’ve been so scared to say that; I’ve held back from that for so long because I didn’t want to hurt my dad. But I can’t lie about it anymore. I am trans.”
“You owe it to yourself to be happy, and to live your life as the human being that you want to be.” 🏳️⚧️
So proud of @JasmineKennedie for finding the courage to share her journey, and major props to @KerriColby, @hereisbosco, & @kornbreadTMFS for inspiring us all season long! 💘 pic.twitter.com/jPjWWteTuP

Danielle said at the A Day With… event in Milan, “There’s a lot of shame that’s associated with the LGBTQ community that’s put on us. And it’s wrong, and it sucks. I felt shame because I had feelings, romantic relationships with people of both sex. I’m very proud about my personal life.”

She revealed, “Throughout my life [I] have lived on both sides of the curtain… I’ve had boyfriends; I’ve had girlfriends, you know, throughout my life. I am neither one nor the other.

He came out as bisexual on Instagram and wrote, “Since I have not publicly said this in a post, I wanted [to] say that I am Bisexual 😊 When I was younger I thought I was straight, because I was more attracted to women, and I didn’t know there were more options besides Gay and Straight. So I just assumed I was Straight 🤷🏼♂️ I am privileged and have never been discriminated against for my sexuality or ashamed of it. I’m truly sorry for any of you who have been, and I hope it gets better 💙 I’ll probably lose some fans over this post, but that’s fine with me 🥲”

They revealed on Twitter that they now identify as trans femme and use they/she pronouns. She revealed, “I’m still not sure where I fit on the spectrum, for now I just say trans femme, but I also don’t have to know now…I want to share this because I have felt so lonely keeping this to myself. I have been rarely able to talk to other people with similar stories, though I know there are many out there. I’m so tired of holding my pain in, and if I’m sharing dark bath bomb jokes and my ass cheeks to the TV world, then I also want to share this.”
