"As we celebrate LGBTQ History Month, I want to take a moment to highlight the voices of celebrities who identify as bisexual and what they've shared about their unsung sexuality. In my humble opinion, and as someone who identifies as bisexual, it's the letter that feels most forgotten in the LGBTQ+ conversation. Even more so, celebrities who identify this way are constantly overlooked and doubted - sometimes because they're in a relationship with someone from the opposite sex."
""I think 'forced' isn't the right word I would use, but I would say that I would have preferred to do it another way. I also don't know if I would have ever done it. But at the end of the day I don't regret it. In many ways it was really empowering.""
"Cardi B has seemingly never been afraid to speak on her personal experiences, challenging ridiculous queerbaiting allegations in 2021. Responding to a Rolling Stone article while she was married to Offset and pregnant with her first child, she tweeted, "Uuummmm @RollingStone queer baiting? You do know we was trying to hide a whole baby bump right?""
