Aunjanue ellis gay

Ellis, 53, tells Variety that she has been open about the fact that she is a bisexual woman that identifies as queer with friends, family, and coworkers throughout the duration of her career. Aunjanue Ellis has been open about her sexuality for decades, but when asked why her personal life has rarely been in the media, the year-old actress pointed out that "nobody asked. But nobody on the press line or inside the event ever asked her about it. One of my family members noticed, but nobody else did.

That family member already knew that Ellis is bisexual — the year-old has been open about her sexuality to her friends and family in Mississippi and the people she has worked with for decades. I am Black, I am queer. This is who I am," the Oscar-nominated actress said. Although the Oscar nominee told Variety that wasn't news to those close to her, her sexuality wasn't something that had been in the media before, though it also wasn't something she had tried to conceal.
