During the YouNow live stream, Taylor-Klaus said part of the reason she chose to come out now was due to the post-election anxiety.
“Part of why I’m coming out is because there’s so much hate and fear in and around the LGBT community right now and it’s important for us not to halt progress out of fear,” Klaus-Taylor said.
“Yes, it’s a scary time, but we need to stand up and say, even if you are afraid, I’m not afraid, or even if I am afraid, I’m strong. I am who I am and you can’t take that away from me.”
The actress received positive support from her fans and thanked everyone for standing by her decision.
Thank you for all the love and support since last night — it truly means a lot! ?️??
