Madison Beer shares moving, emotional family story as she discusses her bisexuality
Briefly

Madison Beer recently discussed her bisexuality, expressing the importance of her advocacy due to her closeted grandfather’s past. She first came out as LGBTQ+ in 2016 and continues to face inquiries regarding her sexuality. In a Cosmopolitan interview, she articulated her confusion over homophobia, noting it doesn't affect others’ preferences. She shared her grandfather's experiences of marrying a woman out of societal pressure, highlighting the need for authenticity in one's identity. Beer also reflected on a previous incident involving leaked nude content, emphasizing understanding and growth from that experience.
I'm like: 'Yeah, I don't really know why you give a f**k that I want to date a girl'. I've never understood homophobic people because I'm just like, 'Why are you affected by someone else's sexual preference?'. It doesn't affect me unless I'm trying to sleep with you and you don't want to sleep with me. I like to speak about it because I know how much the gay community has been through.
My grandfather married a woman and had three children with her because he was trying to convert himself. It makes me so upset that we live in this world where you can't just be who you are.
The boy who the whole nude situation happened with, he reached out to me and was like: 'I had no idea that I hurt you like this. I'm so sorry'. I don't know how it feels to be a 14-year-old boy receiving photos of a girl. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I don't think he was being malicious showing them to his friends. He was a kid.
