Lili Reinhart speaks her truth and opens up about her decision to come out as bisexual.
“I knew full well that I was attracted to women from a young age,” she told the publication. “I felt that since I’ve been exclusively in hetero-normative relationships, it would be too easy for any outsider, especially the media, to resent me and accuse me of struggling to get attention.”
Reinhart added, “That’s not something I wanted to deal with. But for my closest friends, and those in my life, my bisexuality has not been a secret.”
“Although I have never announced it in public before, I am a proud bisexual woman,” she wrote at the time. “And I will join this protest today. Come along.”
The pair were first linked back in July 2017 and apparently split for the first time in July 2019 before reuniting two months later.
In an interview with the publication, Reinhart also discussed her role as a public figure amid the Black Lives Matter movement. “I felt I was not doing enough,” she said of her activism. “And I felt like it was lame to post what everyone else was posting, so I asked myself, ‘Okay, what do I have to offer?'”
“I certainly learned a lot from the conversations I had,” Reinhart added. “While it’s important to be an ally in this movement, black voices cannot muffle other voices. This is their time to be heard. White people need to recognize their f —— privilege, that exists, and “It’s very real. It’s important that we do not just sit on our asses and let someone else fight this battle for us, because it’s absolutely everyone’s.”
