7 Notable People Who Came Out as Bisexual This Year

Happy #BiVisibilityDay!

To help celebrate the occasion, and to honor the B in LGBTQ, let's take a look back at all the cool AF people who came out as bisexual in 2019!

Ryan Russell

The NFL player, who previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, came out as bisexual in an August essay for ESPN.

"Withholding information is a form of deceit. And I want the next part of my career—and life—steeped in trust and honesty," he wrote about the decision to finally come out publicly. "During the season you spend more time with your team than with your own family; truth and honesty are the cornerstones of a winning culture. My truth is that I'm a talented football player, a damn good writer, a loving son, an overbearing brother, a caring friend, a loyal lover, and a bisexual man."

Som Hye In

The K-pop singer and former reality TV show contestant came out as bisexual in August after sharing a cute AF picture of her and her girlfriend on Instagram.

"I’m bisexual. And I have [a] girlfriend!" she declared in the Insta pic.

Katherine Barrell

The Wynonna Earp star (and 1/2 of WayHaught, one of our fave queer TV couples of all time) came out as bisexual in a July interview for Diva Magazine's August issue.

"I am attracted to both men and women and the person I fell in love with is a man," she said. "I wish it could just be about the human I am in love with, not their gender. This is why I am so passionate about advocating for equal acceptance across the spectrum of sexuality. Let’s just love who we love and leave each other alone. The world has bigger problems."

Tyler Blackburn

The Pretty Little Liars star came out as bisexual in an April interview with The Advocate. 

"I'm queer," Blackburn, who now plays the openly-gay Sgt. Alex Manes character on The CW's Roswell: New Mexico, said. "I've identified as bisexual since a teenager."

Talking about playing queer on-screen, he continued: 

"I knew this guy in and out. I understood feeling oppressed. I understood having issues with my father [wanting to feel] accepted by him. I understood wanting something but being afraid to have it. I understood self-doubt."

Lilly Singh

The YouTube star and NBC late night host came out on Twitter in February after posting a super casual tweet last night, ticking off boxes on a list reading "female, coloured, bisexual."

"Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers," she added. "No matter how many 'boxes' you check, I encourage you to do the same x."

Woody Cook

The British model and son of British DJ and record producer Fatboy Slim came out as bisexual in a January interview with the UK's Boys by Girls magazine. 

"...I'm bisexual. I'm a bit of a free thinker. I don't care what gender someone is. I'm quite laid back about most things in life, including my sexual orientation," Cook said when asked by Boys by Girls to explain who he is to people who don't know him. 

"It’s something I’ve known for three years," Cook said, explaining how he discovered his sexuality. "I always felt, growing up, that I had all these thoughts and I just shook it off."

Stormy Daniels

Stormy Danies confirmed her bisexuality in January during a bizarre Twitter argument between conservative TV personality Tomi Lahren and Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti. When one Twitter user wrote "I'd pay good money to see Stormy Daniels beat the shit out of Tomi Lahren," Daniels jumped in with one of her signature salty responses that also revealed something about her sexual identity. When another Twitter user jumped in and questioned if Daniels was a lesbian, she clarified that she is bisexual.

"Nope...I like to fuck men and women. It's called bisexual," Daniels tweeted.
