Imagine Sara Ramirez, the beloved Callie Torres from Grey's Anatomy, standing in the spotlight, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and courage. She's at the 40 to None Summit, a sea of faces before her. She takes a deep breath, "I'm bisexual," she announces, her voice echoing in the hall.

This moment was two years in the making, a journey filled with hesitation and fear of discrimination, even from within the LGBTQ community.

But the Pulse nightclub tragedy stirred something in her; she knew she had to use her celebrity voice to empower others. Sara had confided in her close friends, finding solace in their unwavering support. Now, she stands boldly, hoping to inspire LGBTQ youth to embrace who they are. Off-stage, she's happily married to Ryan DeBolt and shining on Madam Secretary. Sara's story isn't just about coming out; it's about the power of owning your truth and inspiring others to do the same.
