No, there's an actual process:

Make a name for yourself. Get that name well-known. Then come out. Then get tHE GLAAD Vito Russo Award.

To wit (from the BWW article):

"The Vito Russo Award is presented to an openly lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality. The Award is named for Vito Russo, a founder of GLAAD and celebrated activist with ACT UP, who chronicled the early images of LGBT people in film and in his book The Celluloid Closet. Previous Vito Russo honorees include Ricky Martin, Rosie O'Donnell, Alan Cumming, Cynthia Nixon, Nathan Lane, Cherry Jones, Elton John, k.d. lang, Brian Graden, and Tom Ford."

As far as I know, only Cherry was out before she became known. It's funny cuz Vito Russo had little patience for closeted celebrities.
