Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Stephanie Beatriz: ‘I’m bi till the day I die’ -‘I’m marrying a man, but I’m still bisexual’

profeminist:

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, who plays Rosa Diaz on the show, says she’s “still bi”, even if she’s marrying a man.

She’s written about her experience of not feeling “gay enough”, feeling like an “outsider” and having her sexuality “misjudged”, in an article for GQ.

“In October, I will marry a heterosexual man… but I’ll be bi till the day I die,” she says.

Many have thanked her for explaining the bisexual experience “so perfectly”.

Stephanie describes her frustrations with having her sexuality defined by “who we’re partnered with at any given moment,” but says she wants to speak publicly about her experience.

“I’ve chosen to use that platform to speak openly about my bi-ness, because of other people who may feel invisible and unsure of whether or not to come out as bisexual.”
