Matilda's Mara Wilson Comes Out as Bisexual
Mara Wilson, the child star best known for her roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, has come out as bisexual and queer.
The 28-year-old actress posted a photo of herself at a gay club ten years ago on Sunday morning after the Orlando shooting.
Mara says that even though she identified as “straight” at the time, she felt “so welcomed there” and has “never had a better experience at a club” than she did then.
When a fan commented on the sexuality label Mara gave herself, the actress replied, “I said I *used* to identify as mostly straight. I’ve embraced the Bi/Queer label lately.”
Mara also added that on the Kinsey Scale, she would label herself a 2, which is “predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.”

Being a "straight girl" where I clearly didn't belong, but I will say, I felt so welcomed there.

I have never had a better experience at a club than I did then. Great music and people. And one of my friends met his partner that night!

I haven't been to one since college, except once when a friend brought me along. I didn't feel like I belonged there.

But the LGBTQ community has always felt like home, especially a few years later when I, uh, learned something about myself.

Let me put it this way: I'm a 2. https://t.co/VA98ZK0a37

Your support is much appreciated. I will say, though, I'm still gonna be pretty private about my relationships, as I always have been.
