It all started with these celebs!Whether you knew you were queer from a young age or it took a bit longer for you to figure it out, there is always that one crush usually a celebrity that gave you that a-ha moment. Maybe it was Gillian Anderson in the X-Files rocking a power suit, or Beyonc shaking it just so in a music video, or the entire Charlies Angels cast. The point is, when we saw them we learned something very important and exciting about ourselves. Recently the conversation about lesbian roots came up on the ActualLesbiansOver25 subreddit and the users revealed which celebs first made them realize they were queer. Thier answers were illuminating, to say the least, and so relatable. Answers are lightly edited for length and grammar.The cast of 'Living Single'The female cast of Living Single.
