Melissa Etheridge Remembers Coming Out 30 Years Ago: 'Bam, There It Was'


Melissa Etheridge exclusively tells Us Weekly why it was a ‘funny time’ when she publicly came out as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community

In addition to supporting younger artists on their own coming out journeys, Etheridge is celebrating Pride Month this June — which isn’t that different than how she spends the rest of the year. Etheridge, who married Linda Wallem in 2014, shares kids Bailey, 27, and Beckett, who died in 2020, with ex Julie Cypher and twins Johnnie and Steven, 17, with ex Tammy Lynn Michaels. Fans can tune in to Can’t Cancel Pride, produced by iHeartMedia and P&G, on iHeartRadio’s YouTube and Facebook pages, Hulu, Revry and The Advocate Channel on Wednesday, June 12, at 8 p.m.
