My feelings for Ellen overrode all of my fear about being out as a lesbian. I had to be with her, and I just figured I'd deal with the other stuff later.
My sexuality is a part of me that I really like. But it's not the totality of me.
It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.
In high school I had sex with girls quite a few times. They were straight women who I convinced to jump in the sack with me.
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.
When I watched Ellen come out in '97, my jaw was on the floor. I thought, There are some people who break the doors down, hold them open, and some people who walk right through.
