20. Stephen Fry

Famous actor, comedian and presenter Stephen Fry struggled with his sexuality during his teenage years, but always knew he was gay and was never ashamed to admit it. He has often used his popularity to address LGBT issues, fighting homophobes with science and facts. For instance, Stephen frequently mentions the fact that more than 250 animal species display same-sex tendencies, whether we like it or not. Here’s his brilliant statement:

“At least 260 species of animal have been noted exhibiting homosexual behavior but only one species of animal ever, so far as we know, has exhibited homophobic behavior — and that’s the human being. So ask which is really natural.”

As some of you may know, things have turned out pretty well for Stephen. After ending a 15-year long relationship, Stephen and his new partner, stand-up comedian Elliott Spencer, tied the knot in 2015 and couldn’t be happier.
