This is by no means a complete gallery of famous out performers and athletes, just many of the ones featured in Out in Hollywood since the beginning of July. From Billie Jean to Billy Bean, Neil Patrick Harris to Sam Harris, and Lily to Louganis, they are heroes to me who have had the courage to be out and proud in the public arena and are inspirations to us all.
