Sebastián Ligarde, 59

Came out: This Mexican soap star confessed to TVyNovelas magazine he was bisexual when he was younger and has been in a stable relationship for more than 20 years. He went on to say he was inspired by Ricky Martin to come out publicly.

No gay person should have to walk down the street with stigma stamped on his forehead. Sexual preference is genetic... and if God and my family knows it, then let the world know it.” Amen!
