What was said

"I'm gay and I'm bi and date women and men, and it's just, I think, growing up I didn't fit in for a lot of reasons in my childhood. I grew up in a very predominantly white area, and being a little Black girl, I already stood out so much to my peers and kind of took that on a lot more than I feel like I realized."

Leila Taylor from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives publicly came out as bisexual for the first time on the On Purpose podcast. She revealed she has been dating women and men, sharing that she suppressed these feelings for years due to lack of queer representation and cultural pressures. Taylor is currently in a relationship with a woman who reached out via DM.
