Vicci Martinez, 27

Came Out: The Tacoma, Washington native came out to her religious parents as a teenager. Even though it wasn't the easiest thing to do, Vicci says she has no regrets about it. "It was hard for me coming out to my parents," says Martinez, who adds that she'll never again hide who she is. "I’ve already gone through that hurdle and I’m not going to go through it again. I’ve had people say, 'Well, why don’t you just keep them guessing? You can hit all the markets.' No. Especially if you’re with somebody; it’s so disrespectful," she says.

Why We Love Her: The girl’s a rock star—not just because she can jam out to songs like Florence and the Machine's "Dog Days Are Over" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"—but also because she’s got the guts to live life by her own definition.
