The road to self-discovery can be sinuous for teenagers, especially when they don’t identify as straight. Young actress Amandla Stenberg just came out as gay in an interview with Wonderland Magazine.
While she had previously stated that she was bisexual, she said: “Yep, I’m Gay – not bi, not pan, but gay”. “I was so overcome with this profound sense of relief when I realized that I’m gay – not bi, not pan, but gay – with a romantic love for women”. (…)
As for her crushes when she was a kid, she revealed: “Mila Kunis was probably my first lesbian crush, besides that silver haired hoe Mirage from The Incredibles or Kristina Vidal’s punk ass in Freaky Friday”.
Stenberg added that she also felt empowered by Frida Kahlo’s fluidity.
Much love to Amandla for continuing to live her truth and inspire other young people to embrace all that they are.
