• Celebrities coming out should no longer be groundbreaking but visibility in the media is important.
• Numerous celebrities have come out this year.
• Here are 27 stars who have opened up about their sexuality or gender identity this year.

Chloe Veitch

The Netflix reality star Chloe Veitch came out as bisexual in April in an interview with The Sun.

Veitch said that she felt that she needed to come out after appearing on a new British series called "The Big Celebrity Detox."

"Doing breath work forced me to dig deeper," Veitch said. "I realized, 'This is what's bothering you — you're bisexual and you haven't told anyone.' I've definitely been battling it, to be honest. I mean, being in and out of little flings with girls. I felt like it was my dirty little secret so it has taken the weight off my shoulders."

"Because I've been on heterosexual dating shows, I'm just a bit anxious of public opinion," Veitch continued. "But at the end of the day, if I'm happy, that's all that matters. I'm itching to go out there and date both guys and girls. It's really exciting."

Veitch has appeared in three separate Netflix reality series: "Too Hot To Handle," "The Circle," and "The Perfect Match." While all three series have featured bisexual contestants, "Too Hot To Handle" and "Perfect Match" were mainly geared toward heterosexual relationships.

Veitch told The Sun that her celebrity crush was the "Love Island" star Megan Barton Hanson, who also opened up about her bisexuality after leaving the show.

Bella Ramsey

In January, "The Last of Us" star Bella Ramsey came out as nonbinary during an interview with The New York Times.

When asked about her identity, the 19-year-old actor said: "I guess my gender has always been very fluid. Someone would call me 'she' or 'her,' and I wouldn't think about it, but I knew that if someone called me 'he,' it was a bit exciting."

Ramsey added: "I'm very much just a person. Being gendered isn't something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn't care less."

Although Ramsey said she didn't mind what pronouns are used for her, the actor told GQ a month later that she didn't like to be referred to as a woman.

"This is what bothers me more than pronouns: being called a 'young woman' or a 'powerful young woman,' 'young lady,' but I'm just not," she said. "'Catherine Called Birdy,' I was in dresses. 'Young Elizabeth,' I was in a corset. And I felt super powerful in that. Playing these more feminine characters is a chance to be something so opposite to myself, and it's really fun."

Ramsey became a breakout star after "The Last of Us" season one aired on HBO. Ramsey plays a lesbian character called Ellie.
