When explaining her coming out story, Reneé Rapp said, 'I was just, like, laughed at every time I tried to come out. So then I never really talked about it. ...'
But on this week's episode of
, Reneé opened up about how events in her life haven't always been worth celebrating, especially when she tried to come out as bisexual in a small conservative town.On the podcast, she talked about the moment she realized she was queer — when she saw a girl at her high school who had dyed hair and didn't wear a bra that everyone considered"different.
"I had never heard anything surrounding [being gay] in a positive light because the one queer person that I knew in my life is a family member of mine who I really looked up to, who got absolutely shitted on by everybody in our family."Reneé added,"[The family member] was bisexual at the time, and they were like, 'Oh, she needs to pick a side.' They were like 'Oh, you shouldn't be around her, you never know who's gonna make you gay.
It was Reneé's friend who told her that she might not be a lesbian but bisexual:"She said, 'I think you're bisexual.' And I was like 'You're kidding?!' That was so intriguing to me."She also shared that her experience with coming out was not as simple as she originally let on by saying,"I was just, like, laughed at every time I tried to come out. So then I never really talked about it.
And this whole experience not only diminished her self-worth but also made her hate filming the first season ofwas terrible, it sucked so bad, because at the time I was in a heteronormative relationship and I hated going to work because I was like I don't think I’m good enough to be here. I don’t think I can be here. I don’t think I can be doing this … and then I would come home and I would psyche myself out literally.
