Barb from Stranger Things Has Come Out as Bisexual

By James St. James on April 19, 2017 10:01 am

Shannon Purser – who is clearly having a moment right now, playing Barb on the mega-hit Stranger Things as well as Ethel on Riverdale – came out as bisexual this morning on Twitter. Congratulations!

The actress says she was prompted by an earlier tweet (since deleted) about “angry Beronica stand” commenting on a same-sex kiss between Riverdale’s Betty and Veronica – and who claimed she was “queer baiting” them.

Tweeted Purser:

“I don’t normally do this, but I figure now is as good a time as any to get personal. I’ve only just recently come out as bisexual to my family and friends. It’s something I am still processing and trying to understand and I don’t like talking about it too much. I’m very very new to the LGBT community. I have never heard the term ‘queerbaiting’ in my life until today. That being said, I have never ever wanted to alienate anyone and my tweet was thoughtless. I wasn’t referring to all the beronica shippers, just the ones who had been particularly cruel to me personally. Either way, it wasn’t a wise or kind thing to say and I’m disappointed in myself, especially as a Christian who has always been taught to speak love to others. Thank you to all the people who kindly reached out to me and educated me about the reality your feelings about queerbaiting and I apologize to those who were hurt.”
