2025 Out100: Tobin Heath & Christen Press

These are the LGBTQ+ people making the world bolder and brighter in 2025.

What happens when you combine two beloved U.S. Women’s National Team players? You get Christen Press and Tobin Heath: wives, cohosts of the sports culture podcast The ReCap Show, and cofounders and co-CEOs of RE_INC, a media brand dedicated to elevating women’s sports.

The soccer superstars fell in love while playing for the U.S., and have been together for over nine years. In 2015, they won the FIFA World Cup together. This year, they publicly announced that they are married. Heath also announced her official retirement, three years after her last professional game. Press is still playing, exciting fans of Angel City Football Club in the NWSL.

The couple also added a member to their family this year — a dog named Bob.

Out Magazine's Instagram Post- February 12, 2025

Throwback to our unforgettable 2022 Out100 cover shoot with Rafael Silva and Ronen Rubinstein - aka Carlos and TK from 911 Lone Star (Tarlos 😍). LGBTQ+ representation in TV and film is essential, and we at Out Magazine are thankful for the 5 seasons of love, heartbreak, and unforgettable moments these two brought to our screens. We'll definitely miss them and the entire cast, especially Brian Michael Smith - aka Paul. 💔

Meet one of the artists, disruptors, educators, groundbreakers, innovators, and storytellers who all helped make the world a better place for LGBTQ+ people.

Whether he is starring as Lord Anthony Bridgerton on Bridgerton, Tim Laughlin on Fellow Travelers, or Fiyero in the upcoming Wicked movies, Jonathan Bailey is one of the most popular and sought-after actors of our time. But despite his credits playing a wide variety of characters, the largest obstacle he still had to face in 2023 is the “endless, tedious, and archaic commentary that playing gay can capsize a man’s career.”

For both his career and personal life, Bailey is on a mission to continue to make space. “As some of us have stepped into a golden age of progress and representation, let’s remember to look back and make space for those who are yet to be elevated in their privilege,” he says. “Send us brilliant scripts and ideas in which we can support stories of our Black, brown, trans, gender-bent, and underrepresented community members. If I can help get an important story made, I will.”

Speaking of looking back, Bailey is incredibly proud to “help bring an important new queer story to screen. One that I know I would have devoured and cherished had I not been a part of it.”

Beginning with the McCarthyism of the 1950s, Fellow Travelers tells a love story between men that spans several decades and tackles the new obstacles that came with each of them.

“We are benefactors of the battles of our queer ancestors of all races and gender identities, so we must continue to fight for everyone on our Pride flag. I believe wholeheartedly that this concept works across all industries. If we keep wrestling to make space for others, our complicated, sensitive, sexy community will remain as unified, generous, and fearless as possible. United.”
