Grey's Anatomy Star Sara Ramirez Reveals She Is Bisexual

For the past few years, Sara Ramirez has played one of the greatest bisexual characters ever on TV, Grey’s Anatomy’s Callie Torres. She’s recently left the show behind, but has left a great legacy with a character who had complex relationships with both men and women, and who never equivocated about the fact she was bisexual, and not gay or straight.

Now she’s revealed that she’s also bisexual in real life, and has done so with an inspiring message and while showing off a snazzy new haircut. Ramirez gave a speech at the True Colors 40 to None Summit where she said, “So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections – whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status.”

“And, because of the intersections that exist in my own life: Woman, multi-racial woman, woman of colour, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican and Irish sides. I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard, and that support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to.”

You can take a look at the tweet she put out to accompany her speech below, as well as video of the whole thing.
