Zachary Quinto

Mr. Zachary Quinto is in just about everything. The Carnegie trained actor is currently starring in the Star Trek reboot as Spock, but before that he had gained serious nerd cred for his work on the hit TV series Heroes. Quinto is known for his rugged good looks and he shocked his fans when he came out as gay in 2011. The reason Quinto went public with his homosexuality is that he heard of Jamey Rodemeyer, a gay teenager, who had committed suicide because of his sexuality. Since then Quinto has become a huge equal rights activist.

Carrie Brownstein

Carrie Brownstein is one half of the hilarious quirk-duo that stars on the show Portlandia. Alongside Fred Armisen, Brownstein has become one of Hollywood’s most underrated comedic actors. Known for her ability to jump from role to role and revered for work as a guitarist in the band Excuse 17. Brownstein is becoming more and more influential as her work becomes more and more exposed. Brownstein was ‘outed’ by an article written by Spin rather than going public on her own. In 2006 Brownstein made it clear that she was bisexual, but described her relationship with writing partner Fred Armisen as one of the most “intimate, functional, romantic” nonsexual relationships she has ever had.
