The 27-year-old actor stated that he has never been in "any sort of closet," and that he has "always done me and never been shy." He also stated that he has always been vocal about it.
Currently, Tortorella is dating a woman, but he embraces having an attraction to both men and women.
"It’s just a fluidity. We’re all kind of moving into this one situation."Earlier this year, Tortorella opened up to Cosmo magazine about his outlook on modern relationships:
"I think that an open relationship or a polyamorous relationship or an understanding of sorts is acceptable in this day and age. Relationships and people are my hobby of sorts. I love exchanging energy with people and getting to know people and falling in and out of love."So what's the difference between bisexuality and sexually fluid?
Bisexuality is defined as a romantic and sexual attraction to both men and women. When it comes to sexual fluidity, individuals who identify as sexually fluid experience fluctuations in their sexual orientation. For example, someone who has been attracted to men could begin having an attraction to women, and vice versa. Also, there may be times where a sexually fluid person has NO attraction to anyone. It is a constant change.
There are people in the LGBT community that shy away from those who are sexually fluid and bisexual. Often these individuals are deemed "greedy." I find this to be unfair because you cannot help who you are attracted to. It annoys me when bisexuals and sexually fluid individuals are shamed in their own community.
The stigma needs to end so everyone can be their authentic selves.
