Is Julianne Hough Gay?
Julianne Hough opened up about being bisexual during a recent interview with Glamour. She shared, “I am very open and honest about my sexuality. I am bisexual and I love women and men equally. I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed or judged for anything they are attracted to. If someone is attracted to me, that’s great. I’m just saying that we’re all human beings.”
The Dancing With the Stars alum added, “I’ve never felt less masculine and more feminine than I do right now. I’m learning to embrace those parts of myself. I’m embracing the fact that I’m attracted to both genders. I’m happy to say that I’m bi; I’m not trying to hide anything. I’m comfortable enough with myself to express my attraction to people of either gender.”
Hough, 31, went on to explain why she chose to come out publicly. “There’s still a lot of stigma around being bisexual, especially among young people,” she said. “People sometimes assume that you’re lying or hiding something. You’re always expected to pick one side or another. I wanted to take away some of the judgment and shame surrounding bisexuality.”
