Alyson Stoner Comes Out As Queer

Alyson Stoner just came out in an article she wrote for Teen Vogue.

The 24-year-old dancer/singer/actress penned a piece for the publication where she opened up about falling in love with a woman and struggling with her identity.

“I, Alyson, am attracted to men, women, and people who identify in other ways,” Alyson wrote. “I can love people of every gender identity and expression. It is the soul that captivates me. It is the love we can build and the goodness we can contribute to the world by supporting each other’s best journeys.”

“Some people in the industry warned me that I’d ruin my career, miss out on possible jobs, and potentially put my life in danger if I ever came out,” she added. “My dream and all I’d worked tirelessly for since the age of 6 was suddenly at risk by my being . . . true to myself. Imagine receiving death threats (as I have); would you choose to live a lie in order to protect your loved ones?”

Alyson also released a new love song that she wrote to go along with her coming out story. Listen to “When It’s Right” below!
