To be able to learn from it and hopefully guide others through those more difficult experiences. The less positive experiences that I’ve had with people, I try to look at it as a way to equip myself as a queer person, to be able to handle that. I definitely feel very fortunate to have had an overwhelmingly positive response generally, from people in my personal life and people online. I always knew that if I ever did come out and talk about my sexuality, that I wanted it to be respectful because the LGBT+ community has always been something that I have tried to uplift and support in every way ever since I ever got started.

In terms of the reactions you’ve had from people since coming out, whether from family and friends, how have they been and did they meet your expectations at all? It’s so easy to feel like you have to plan everything out and outline all these expectations around coming out. I felt so comfortable in that scenario because it was just me and a couple of my friends who were there throughout that whole relationship, who know me and who know my experiences.Īnd, at that point, I’d also been talking to a few of my fans about it without making it this huge thing for myself, and it just made it feel a lot more natural. I was on a podcast with one of my best friends and they asked me about a breakup that I just went through, which was a queer relationship, and I guess I just stopped tiptoeing around the answers. When I did come out, it didn’t really feel in that moment like I was necessarily coming out. I just decided to stop being so afraid of answering the question. Whether it was going to be big or whether it was going to be small, I was just trying to picture the perfect experience for myself that was never really going to happen. So I made a decision a few months before I came out to stop worrying. It can make something that can be so lovely feel… not totally right. You’re just constantly going to feel like there’s never a right time, because there’s never necessarily a right time until you’re ready. But if all you’re doing is putting pressure on yourself, which is what I was doing. We want it to be this beautiful, special, amazing experience for ourselves - as it should be. I think it’s something that a lot of queer people might also fall into, in their own ways. I think I put way too much pressure on myself for a long time to have the perfect coming out experience of my own. But I don’t… gosh, this goes all around my life it seems but I’m not a big ‘labels’ girl.Įarlier this year you came out, which was fantastic.

I’ve cooked that before! It’s really good. It might sound weird, but it’s delicious – a vegan eggplant lasagna roll-up.
