But in recent years, Heche also spoke frequently about another key aspect of her legacy: her status as an LGBTQ trailblazer.

During her life, Heche had been open about the fact that her father, a Baptist choir minister, was a closeted lgbtq+. He passed away due to AIDS complications at 45 in 'I contemplate my father was a sexual addict. I consider he saw everybody as a sexual being. But I think at that time he was living a very flamboyant lgbtq+ lifestyle,' she told Larry King in a interview.
