Ellen Degeneres
Ellen has been with Portia de Rossi since 2004. She first came out on her 1997 sitcom, Ellen, to widespread criticism. The confession barred her from the industry for serveral years and left her in a "mirred depression." Today, she is the 15th highest paid entertainer in the world. Despite her advocacy for LGBTQ causes, she has been criticized for her friendship with George Bush, who had opposed same-sex marriage in the past.
