Jameela Jamil

The Good Place actress,Jameela Jamil came out as qeer last month and according to her it was not well revealed. She said;”It was just an outburst,” she explained. “That was not well-handled. I’m just human and I snapped! If I could go back I would have done it at a different time. I don’t know when it’s ever really appropriate, but that was not the best time.”
“I come from a South Asian background, so you just don’t really have a lot of queer idols. There isn’t a lot of conversation around it.

“There isn’t a lot of acceptance for it within my culture, traditionally. It was just something that I wrestled with the shame of for a long time.”

She continued: “I have never felt like my private life is mine alone, so I’ve been trying to grapple with how to handle that for so long because I don’t like having my love life scrutinised.

“So I kept it quiet for a while to give myself some privacy and then it just burst out of me.

“Not my favourite moment of the year. We live and we learn… it’s nice to have it off my chest.”
