Celebs You Didn’t Know Came Out as Non-Binary This Year

How celebrities present themselves is changing, with more and more public figures being open and honest about who they are. Recently, we’ve seen a growing number of actors, musicians, and other well-known people sharing that they are non-binary. This has led to important discussions about gender identity and how it’s portrayed in movies, music, and television. From singers on the world stage to famous actors, these individuals are helping to broaden our understanding of gender beyond traditional labels. Here’s a look at some of those celebrities who have recently shared their non-binary identities or clarified how they identify.

The artist, originally from Cork, identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.

Reis is Two-Spirit and has frequently talked about their background, which includes both Indigenous and Cape Verdean ancestry.

Emma Corrin

Okay, so Emma Corrin absolutely killed it as the villain in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’! It’s been great seeing them really come into their own, and this role is no exception. They’ve been very open about being non-binary, and this year, that’s brought a lot of attention – some good, some not so much. Honestly, I admire how vocal they are about wanting to see more gender-neutral categories at award shows. It’s clear they’re committed to choosing roles that break the mold and challenge how we think about gender, and I’m here for it!

Mason Alexander Park

Jumping into the spotlight with the ‘Quantum Leap’ reboot, Park is a trailblazer as one of the first non-binary actors on network TV to play a non-binary character.

They also bring this perspective to the theater, often reimagining traditional roles with a queer viewpoint.

Liv Hewson

As a huge fan of ‘Yellowjackets,’ I was really intrigued to hear about Melanie Lynskey’s decision regarding the Emmys this year. She chose not to submit herself for consideration because she doesn’t feel comfortable being placed in either the male or female categories – she identifies as non-binary, and rightly so, neither feels accurate. It’s sparked a really important conversation about how award shows can be more inclusive, and she’s continuing to push for real change within the Television Academy, which I totally applaud. It’s about recognizing talent, not fitting people into outdated boxes.

Vico Ortiz

As a huge fan of ‘Our Flag Means Death,’ I absolutely love Vico Ortiz as Jim! What’s really cool is that Vico, who is non-binary and gender fluid, brings so much of their own life experience to the role. It’s amazing to see them at conventions talking about how wonderful it is to play a character who’s just… accepted for who they are. And beyond acting, Vico is also a drag king and a really important voice for Latinx queer representation – they’re seriously inspiring!

Fin Argus

Fin Argus is quickly becoming a well-known actor, especially after starring in the new version of ‘Queer as Folk’. They identify as both genderqueer and gay, and use they/them pronouns. Argus often expresses their identity through their fashion choices, and their recent music delves into themes of fluidity and LGBTQ+ love. They hope to be the kind of positive influence they needed when they were younger.

Megan Stalter

Megan Stalter, the comedian known for her role in ‘Hacks,’ has been increasingly using she/they pronouns online. While she plays a quirky assistant on the show, she’s a talented writer and performer off-screen. In her stand-up, she often talks about being bisexual and her flexible views on gender, and her comedy frequently challenges traditional ideas about gender roles and how we perform them.

Bob the Drag Queen

Bob, famous for their drag performances, has been openly sharing more about their identity this year, identifying as non-binary and pansexual.
