Miley came out to her mother as pansexual when she was 14 and has revealed relationships that "weren't straight, heterosexual ones." The star also identifies as gender fluid.

In Sam Smith's 2014 Fader cover story he says, "I’m very comfortable and happy with everything. I just wanted to talk about him and have it out there. [My album] is about a guy and that’s what I wanted people to know—I want to be clear that that’s what it’s about... why is [my sexuality] a talking point? I’m singing, I’m making music, I’m performing my music—that’s what should be the talking point."

The singer describes herself as "tri-bi," which refers to her being bisexual, biracial and bipolar.

The YouTuber-turned-musician came to millions-strong audience on August 7, 2013, exactly three years after he came out to his family and friends.

Just before the release of his debut studio album, Channel Orange, Odd Future member Ocean revealed his first love was a man in an emotional blog post. Whether he's gay, bisexual or just open minded has not been confirmed.

"I don't care what gender you are, it's about people," the "Chandelier" singer, who once dated Le Tigre's JD Samson, said. "I've always been...well, flexible is the word I would use."

The Years and Years frontman spoke about his positions as an LGBT trailblazer, saying "I get asked, 'How do you feel being a spokesperson for gay issues?', and what I've come to think is I can't speak for all gay people, because there are so many different issues, and experiences, and different shapes and sizes. But I can speak for myself, and that is what I'm doing...I want to be able to speak about something I care about."

The Passion Pit leader came out on author Bret Easton Ellis' B.E.E. podcast in November 2015. The 28-year-old had never publicly addressed his sexuality prior to the podcast appearance, but said "I'm gay and that's it. It just has to happen. This was exactly the type of situation where I don't feel like I'm being threatened."

The "Same Love" singer was raised Pentecostal, but her family was expelled form the church when Lambert came out to her mother at age six. Lambert has since learned to reconcile her religious beliefs and her sexuality, and often talks about these topics in her music and poetry.

The Neon Trees frontman revealed his sexuality in a March 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, saying "I am a happy and healthy Mormon gay pop star. I don't know what it all means, but I'm ok with it."

The openly gay MC grew up in New York City, studied ballet and modern day and earned a degree in dance from Wesleyan University before returning to NY to become a rapper.

The Pvris singer talked to BBC's Newsbeat about why she's proud and upfront about her sexuality. "I never had someone to look up to and be like, 'Oh that person is OK and they're gay.' If I can be that for someone then it's why I'm open about it."

After coming out publicly as queer, the Senses Fail founder told Fuse that "everyone has been very accepting and encouraging."

Big Freedia may be a world-famous Bounce artist and performer (and star of Fuse's highest-rated series ever), but at the end of the day he's still the same Queen Diva that started out on small stages in his hometown of New Orleans. Openly gay and defying gender roles and stereotypes daily, on AND off stage, Freedia is living proof that hard work and remaining true to yourself always pay off in the end.
