Michael Sam
Michael Sam was the first openly gay NFL player. Coming out is likely the reason his career in the NFL and football as a whole ended so prematurely due to the sport’s pretty clear discomfort with homosexuality.
He is now a motivational speaker and an inspiration to many young athletes struggling to come out of the closet.

Michelle Rodriguez
The Fast and the Furious star, Michelle Rodriguez, publicly announced her bisexuality in 2014, hoping it would have a positive influence on others struggling with their sexuality.
