Bi Visibility Month: Stephanie Beatriz

“I’m bisexual myself. I identify as bi and queer and I thought for myself, growing up, I didn’t ever see myself on television. Not to mention that I’m Latina, so like, it was a very limited amount of characters and people that I identified with. And so, for me coming out publicly and then having our creator Dan Goor say, ‘This is something that we are kind of interested in exploring. Do you feel comfortable?’ I was like ‘Yes, absolutely,’ because I can think of many, many, many times when I was 13, 14 where I just felt like… I don’t know if I’m going to be okay. I don’t see families like the kind of family that I maybe want to build, I don’t see people succeeding that identify this way. So to be able to present that to kids that are watching our show and sort of say like ‘you’re going to be just fine, you’re going to be just fine’, it’s really a gift.”
