Older'Stranger Things' Star Shannon Purser Tweets About Her Sexuality & She's Our Hero
Stranger Things star Shannon Purser is quickly becoming a role model for being comfortable in your own skin.
Hours ago, in a series of five tweets, she let the world know she’s had anxiety about her sexuality, but that she is getting through it.
Shannon, who played Barb on the breakout hit of last summer and now plays Ethel Muggs on Riverdale, is putting her insecurities on the table, hoping she can help people who feel the same way.
And fans are grateful!
Getting comfortable with your sexuality is a process. It's going to be ok. I wish I'd known that sooner.

Another thing I wish I'd known about sexuality is to take it slow. It can define you as much as you want it to.

Either way, I know what it's like to have anxiety about it. Especially trying to come to terms with it and my faith. It can be really scary.

But it's gonna be ok. You're going to be ok. No, you're going to be great.

All that to say, you're not alone. You're in my prayers and, if you're the praying kind, please keep me in yours. ????
