“..That’s how my mother found out. My cousins were talking about it at home and their mom overheard them. So my aunt called my other aunt in Tennessee who called my other aunt in Italy who called my other aunt in California who called my mom. News of my sexuality travelled around the world.

The Hollywood closet takes another one to the nuts!
Actress, writer and producer Joanna Johnson is best known for her star turn as fan favorite Karen Spencer on The Bold & The Beautiful. And bold she is! Johnson finally came out in an interview with TV guide today, after a lifetime in the closet, making her one of the only out stars in daytime Soap Operas. Hooray for Joan! Honesty must taste good. :)

“I’ve always known I liked girls. I had my first “girlfriend” when I was 4 and was told from that moment on how much of an abomination anything besides heterosexuality was. I’m from the South and that, coupled with a religious background didn’t make my coming out any easier. I came out to my mom 6 times before it finally sank in. I was never ashamed of who I was and everyone who knew me, knew I liked women. I struggled with myself for years. I identified as bisexual but realized that I was just trying to please my family with the small hope I’d marry a man. I got so mad at myself for allowing myself to not be myself to the fullest extent and finally came out as queer…to my whole family. To this day my mother still makes sure I know that she thinks it’s disgusting and against God. It kills me to know that she thinks that but I can do nothing but be myself.”
