Attention: Please stop what you are doing and immediately visit Ellen Page's Twitter, where she is renaming all of the dogs on the Internet (and at least one cat). Seriously, why are you still in this post? This is so important. There are pictures of adorable animals and one of them has been renamed Helen Hunt.

Wentworth Miller, 2013

"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/21/wentworth-miller-comes-out-gay_n_3792389.html?utm_hp_ref=gay-voices" target="_blank">came out</a> in August 2013 after being invited to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival in Russia. In the midst of massive anti-gay violence and legislation throughout the country at that time, he decided it was time to go public about his sexuality.  "Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes," the 41-year-old wrote in a letter to the festival's director, which was posted on GLAAD's website. "However, as a gay man, I must decline."

Jodie Foster, 2013

The "Silence of the Lambs" star ended years of rampant media speculation when she casually came out of the closet while accepting her Cecil B. Demille award at the 2013 Golden Globes.  "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the Stone Age," she said in the speech. "In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, coworkers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her."

Gillian Anderson, 2012

The "X-Files" actress <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/gillian-anderson-lesbian-relationships-out-magazine_n_1342801.html" target="_hplink">revealed she's had numerous relationships</a> with women in a 2012 interview with <em>Out</em> magazine.    The 43-year-old mother of three, who's long enjoyed a sizable lesbian fanbase, told <em>Out</em> that she first had a relationship with a woman while still in high school, after moving from her native England to suburban Michigan.    "If I had thought I was 100 percent gay, would it have been a different experience for me?" Anderson, who was voted "Most Bizarre" and "Most Likely to Be Arrested" in high school, ponders. "Would it have been a bigger deal if shame had been attached to it and all those things that become huge life-altering issues for youngsters in that situation? It's possible that my attitude around it came, on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys."

Raven-Symone, 2013

Raven-Symone <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/02/raven-symone-comes-out_n_3697024.html" target="_blank">came out via Twitter</a> in early August 2013 after long-term speculation surrounding the actress' sexuality.  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you</p>&mdash; Raven-Symonè (@MissRavenSymone) <a href="https://twitter.com/MissRavenSymone/statuses/363360946905153536">August 2, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Raven-Symone confirmed the subtle coming out by retweeting of her followers congratulating the star.    In a statement to <a href="http://www.eonline.com/news/445392/raven-symone-s-gay-marriage-tweet-explained-star-not-getting-married-but-it-s-great-to-know-i-can-now" target="_blank">E! News</a>, the actress said: "I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted. I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to."

Lucas Cruikshank, 2013

This Nickelodeon star and YouTube sensation <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/20/lucas-cruikshank-comes-out-gay_n_3786658.html?ir=Gay+Voices" target="_blank">came out at 19</a> via an Internet question and answer session with friend and actress Jennifer Veal, telling fans "I'm gay."  "My family and friends have known for like three years, I just haven't felt the need to announce it on the Internet," he explained. At one point during the video he turned and asked Veal: "How come you didn't have to make a video saying you're straight?"

Matt Bomer, 2012

The 34-year-old "White Collar" hunk <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/13/matt-bomer-comes-out-gay-thanks-partner_n_1272997.html" target="_hplink">thanked his partner</a> Simon Halls and his three children during Saturday's Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, where he received the New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.   "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," he told the crowd. "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."

Anne Burrell, 2012

"Secrets of a Restaurant Chef" host Anne Burrell confirmed she's a lesbian and in a committed relationship with a woman, just days after "Chopped" host Ted Allen made a reference to her sexuality in a radio interview.   "Anne doesn't feel she was outed," Burrell's rep told Page Six. "She has made no secret of her relationship."  The rep went on to note, "Her significant other is a very private woman. They have been together for a couple of years and spend a lot of time together."

Jim Parsons, 2012

<em>New York Times </em>scribe Patrick Healy confirmed "The Big Bang Theory" star's sexuality<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/27/theater/jim-parsons-prepares-for-his-lead-role-in-harvey.html?_r=1" target="_hplink"> as part of a profile</a>.    The revelation came late in the article, when Healy describes the 39-year-old actor's role in the 2011 revival of Larry Kramer's HIV/AIDS crisis drama, "The Normal Heart."     Wrote Healy: '"The Normal Heart" resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said."    Though the <em>Times </em>didn't identify Parsons' partner, he has been romantically liked with art director Todd Spiewak (pictured).

Sean Maher, 2011

Sean Maher, known for his roles on "Firefly" and "Playboy Club," confirmed his sexuality in an <a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/09/26/firefly-playboy-club-actor-sean-maher-comes-out-ga/"><em>Entertainment Weekly</em>  interview</a>, saying, "This is my coming out ball. I’ve been dying to do this.”
