Ryan Beatty

YouTube star turned pop-singer Ryan Beatty was inspired to come out by the June 2016 Orlando Pulse shooting. The then-20-year-old took to Instagram three weeks after the attack, writing that he was “proud to be a raging homosexual. It’s taken 20 years of suffocating in the closet for me to become comfortable enough to say it, but now I can finally breathe. I did it!”
