Actor Sara Ramirez Came Out As Bisexual During A Powerful Speech
#SpeakingMyTruth
Grey's Anatomy alum and Broadway star Sara Ramirez came out as bisexual during her speech at the True Colors Fund's "40 to None" Summit in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The event focused on issues such as LGBT youth homelessness.
"So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections – whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status," she said on stage.
"Because of the intersections that exist in my own life — woman, multi-racial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides — I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard, and that support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to."
