Honestly so proud of Sara for finding themself and coming to terms with who they are. I’m thankful for celebrities like Janelle Monae , Sara Ramirez, and Sam Smith for bringing more awareness to the grey that exists in the black and white gender conforming society we are in https://t.co/kCWUkR8FTi pic.twitter.com/cfG0w6C7MX

In 2016, Sara Ramirez came out as bisexual at the True Colors Fund’s “40 To None Summit” (now known as the “Impact Summit”) in Los Angeles, California.
“So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections – whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status,” they said at the summit. “Because of the intersections that exist in my own life: Woman, multi-racial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides, I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard, and that support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to.”
