Dianna Agron, who plays Quinn Fabray on
the Fox musical-comedy Glee, says she wore a “Likes Girls”
t-shirt to support Gay Pride.
During Saturday's Toronto stop of the
Glee Tour, the 25-year-old actress appeared on stage wearing a
t-shirt that read, “LIKES GIRLS.”
Many fans questioned her motivation and
wondered whether she had just outed herself.
But
in an essay posted at her personal blog, Agron denies she's gay,
adding that she wore the t-shirt in support of Gay Pride.
“[D]uring our second show, Instead of
wearing my usual shirt during Born This Way I decided to wear
one that said 'Likes Girls.' It should actually have read, 'Loves
Girls,' because I do. The women in my life give me things that the
men in my life can’t. And vice-versa. No, I am not a lesbian, yet
if I were, I hope that the people in my life could embrace it
whole-heartedly. And let me tell you, I can easily spill (quite
comfortably) what I admire, respect and think is beautiful about any
of the women in my life. Piece of cake!”
“Last night, I wanted to do something
to show my respect and love for the GLBT community. Support that
people could actually see. Which is why I decided to change my shirt
for the show.”
Agron adds that she's proud of Glee's
gay inclusiveness.
“Our show celebrates the GLBT
community. We are proud to be a part of something that embraces an
often avoided topic.”
