The actress, 35, previously came out as queer, but has now opened up further about her sexuality thanks to accepting herself and developing a support system of ‘wonderful people. ’Cynthia – who is set to play Elphaba in the big-screen version of Wicked – shared an inspirational message in honour of Pride, stating that LGBTQ+ people should be ‘commended for being brave’ rather than ‘chastised’ for being different.

The award-winning star took part in a powerful British Vogue shoot for the publication’s Pride issue, posing on the cover alongside the likes of Cara Delevingne and Munroe Bergdorf.
