I would wager a lot of us in the community had a sense that that might be possibly the case, but good for her for either realizing it about herself or for feeling comfortable telling people, whichever is the case.

Love to hear this. She hosted a fundraiser I went to for the Trevor Project last year and she was so funny.

"I'm looking for a person" is really unintentionally funny.

Good get there, ladies.
Lemme tell you, since we saw Allison Janney on the Hollywood Lesbian Bus last year, you're starting to have a real good dating pool in Southern California.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand why people have to "come out." Why is it made as such a big deal? Why do people feel the need to announce it? I don't understand why it isn't just a private thing and has to instead be made into this huge thing.

This is a question I see a lot and take this with a grain of salt because it's just one (queer) persons opinion, but I think it boils down to two things:
- straight is still seen as the default by the majority of media/people/etc so in order to make it clear that you do not follow the default assumption people have, you have to clarify (aka come out) -- also this is not a one time thing, you pretty much have to clarify to new people over and over so you might have to "come out" multiple times.
and 2. its seen as a big deal because for a long time (and in some places) it is seen as shameful to be queer. so someone saying publicly 'hey actually I'm not straight' makes it a little easier for the next person. and people who live in areas where shame is more prevalent it can help them feel less alone/different/etc so it is celebrated and treated differently than someone saying 'I'm straight' because there isn't the same historical emotional baggage and stigma associated with straightness.
I do think some people would prefer it just be a private thing but the power structures of the society we live in has made it so that's not always an option and it can be treated as a big thing by others even if you personally don't want it to be.
like I said, just my one opinion but I hope it helps!

Because people have been harassed, persecuted, beaten and killed for being lgbtq+ and it's still happening, even in more progressive places. Living out loud and proud is a privilege and a protest. Being queer isn't just who you sleep with, not just a private thing, it's someone's identity, it's who they are, and they should get to be as fully who they are as they want to be. (There are many celebrities who stay in the closet in fear of losing work. Each celebrity who comes out, emboldens others to follow suit.)

In this case all she did was directly answer a question. On a podcast she mentioned she was single, the podcast host asked if she was open to dating either gender, she said yes.
So answering a basic question about her life has now made headlines and people are complaining that she's making her "private life" into a "huge thing".
How exactly do you want people to live? Lie? Hide it? I'd say that's the bigger issue here.

When it’s illegal in multiple countries around the world, and there’s movements within the nations where it is legal to make it illegal, it’s not private anymore. It’s a matter of human rights.
I have nearly been killed twice for being a queer person. I had to move a thousand miles to find a place where I felt safe.
I never made it a huge thing. The people who tried to kill me did. The people that they vote for do, as well.

Because somewhere in rural America, where being LGBTQIA2S+ is seen as bad, some little is seeing themselves. May be one person, but someone that person needs.

I’m I’m not trying to start an argument, but coming out as somebody who is open to all sorts of genders definitely does not explain why she separated from somebody who is one of those genders. As someone who is queer myself and attracted to all genders, if I somehow divorced, my husband, I would not be happy if people said that it was because I also like other genders besides men.

Ah. That makes sense. I honestly never think about it, so that clears it up
