Taylor Jenkins Reid, the author of several bestselling novels including "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo," "Daisy Jones & The Six" and "Malibu Rising," came out as bisexual in an interview with Time magazine.
“It has been hard at times to see people dismiss me as a straight woman, but I also didn’t tell them the whole story,” the author told the outlet in an interview published May 15.
Reid, whose new novel, "Atmosphere," comes out June 3, said assumptions about her sexuality are nothing new for her. In fact, she said, they began when she was a teenager and dressed differently than the social norm.
“I got hit pretty quickly with, ‘Why can’t you dress more like a girl? Why don’t you do your nails? Why do you talk that way? Can’t you be a little bit quieter?’” she told Time. “I started to get people who would say, ‘Oh, I get why you dress like a boy—you’re gay.’”
But, Reid said, she didn’t feel like she identified with being labeled as gay, as she was attracted to both sexes — her first love was a man and then, in her early 20s, she fell in love with a woman. With both loves, however, people doubted if it was the right course for her.
