Caitlin's Entertainment Report.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
He broke on the pressure.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
Te Marone opened up about coming out as lesbian, which
she confirmed during an Ohio concert earlier this year, and
according to Chapel, she thought that there was something wrong
with her before she did. She said, finally, it's like, oh,
I know why. It's because I'm gay, and nothing's actually
wrong with me. I just wasn't supposed to be sleeping
with men, and now I'm a little repulsed at the
thought of kissing a guy because no one's going to

(00:25):
be as good as girls. She also realized that she
had a lot of shame around her sexuality and had
to do a lot of unlearning from her Christian upbringing.
She's from the Midwest. If you didn't know, she continued,
I was scared of flamboy gay people because I was
taught to be scared of them. I realized people hate
flamboy and gay people because it exudes femininity and people

(00:48):
don't like women. Just the little things that I had
to be like, oh my god, this is fed up.
Even now, she still feels confused about certain things and
kind of uncomfortable being gay. She's working through all of it.
She did go back home to Missouri for a visit,
and she said, I love my family. They're very Republican,
but they love me too. It's so hard for kids

(01:08):
who grew up on the coast to understand maybe why.
I can understand. She has empathy for them, she says,
and I understand all of it just came from fear
because I just didn't know, so you know. She also said,
some of these queens have never performed in front of
a crowd that big before, and it's just fun.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
She's still on her journey, but glad she feels comfortable
to come out. If you want to catch up on

Speaker 2 (01:50):
That was the fun fact for me today was that
that was the lyric all along. And I don't know
what the hell I've been saying.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It wasn't right, but no, I got another one. Okay, yeah,
unbreakuple bread. Like like when you're a Catholic and you
go to communion and you just open your mouth and
stick your tongue out and some random person has to
like throw a thing in there, and I don't want
to get too more fread Show next,
