Patty Bouvier, 'The Simpsons'

Portrayed by: Julie Kavner

Marge's sister came out in a 2005 episode in which the city of Springfield legalized same-sex marriage in an effort to boost tourism. She did not, however, get married, as Marge discovered her partner, a pro golfer, was a man masquerading as a woman to play on the golf tour.
