Crystal Bowersox comes out as bisexual

Former American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox has been an avid LGBT supporter for the past three years since the show thrust her into the spotlight. An advocate for equality, Crystal has never spoken about her sexuality until just a few days ago when she appeared on Good Day L.A. saying, “I have been bisexual as long as I can remember,” she said. “I just remember being made fun of for that in junior high and it was something that was shameful and it really shouldn’t be.”

She later confirmed on Twitter:

Crystal recently released a coming out-themed Christmas song with sales benefitting The Trevor Project. It’s a great, heart-wrenching tune that would be perfect on anyone’s holiday playlist.

Previously married, Crystal separated from her husband, Brian Walker, this last year. They share a 4-year-old son, Tony. She also released an album this past spring, All That for This.  

Although Crystal’s sexuality was oft-speculated about, it was not something she discussed publicly. Good on her for coming out with such a special song at the right moment for her in her life, and for supporting queer youth.
