Thora Birch came out as bisexual in an interview while attending the 35th anniversary of the West Hollywood queer bar The Abbey. She said her community shaped her identity as a bi person and that she wants to show support for it. She encouraged people to find their community, stand with it, share love, and reach it toward others. She also urged embracing one another as a way to get through “madness” and to stop fighting. Birch began acting as a child, appearing in a Quaker Oats commercial in 1989. She later appeared in Doogie Howser, M.D., Hocus Pocus, American Beauty, and Ghost World, and she has worked across independent film and television.
"As a hometown girl, I'm always here to show my support for the community, which shaped so much of who I am and my identity as well, being a bi person,"
"I don't want to get too political, but find your community where you can, and stand with them, and stick with them, and share that love that you share together, and reach it toward others,"
"That's the only way we're going to get through all this madness, is just embracing one another. We have to stop fighting."
"Birch began her acting career as a child, starring in a Quaker Oats commercial in 1989 at age seven. She appeared alongside gay actor Neil Patrick Harris in an episode of the medical sitcom Doogie Howser, M.D. In 1993, she appeared in the Disney Halloween film Hocus Pocus playing Dani Dennison, a young sister who battles a trio of resurrected witches alongside her older siblings."
