You’ve probably seen Michelle on TV or in the movies. She’s played paramedic Harms on ER for more then ten years, had a role in Star Trek: Enterprise and played Latina teacher Teresa Morales on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, among dozens of other roles. Michelle is an out and proud Mexican Lesbian actor.

When asked about her out she replied: "I really didn’t make a conscious decision to be out. I’ve been in this business for 15 years and even before that was an issue for me, I was so concentrated on my career. Whenever I was called for audition, they knew about my work. My sexuality has nothing to do with that. So as years went on, I actually came out in The Advocate. I had done a short
film that Liz Lachman directed and I was posed a question, are you gay? And why was I going to lie? I don’t have anything to hide. I pride myself on being truthful, not only to myself, but to others. Certain things aren’t anybody’s business, but if I go and make a gay film, I’ve opened myself up to it. I actually didn’t think I’d get a big response, but boy was I wrong! I got tons of mail and tons of email and they were all supportive."
