VIDEO : 'Matilda' Star Mara Wilson Opens Up About Coming Out as Bisexual

This week ? which is Bisexual Awareness Week ? writer and Matilda star Mara Wilson opened up about coming out as bisexual and dealing with backlash in a frank interview with Ariel Goldberg, the deputy digital director of a civil rights organization.. Wilson, who came out last summer after the Pulse Nightclub shooting, told Goldberg she decided to do so in large part because she realized she had a platform to speak up as part of the LGBTQ+ community. ?I think that if you?re in a place of security and privilege ? which I can admit that I am ? it?s important for you to [come out],? she said.
