Inde Navarrette Bisexual: 'Obsession' Actress Explains Why Many People Choose Not to Come Out

Obsession actress Inde Navarrette has opened up about being bisexual and why she understands that many people choose to keep their sexuality private, describing coming out as 'such a sticky subject' for those facing personal, family or cultural pressures.

The actress's remarks were originally shared in an earlier interview and have drawn renewed attention as viewers discover more about her work following her role as Nikki in Obsession. Navarrette reflected on the challenges some LGBTQ+ people face when deciding whether to publicly share their identity.

Coming Out Can Be 'Such a Sticky Subject'

Reflecting on her own experience, Navarrette said she understood why some people may decide not to come out publicly.

'Being bisexual, I understand how much you could definitely keep it to yourself because it's such a sticky subject,' she said.

The actress explained that her family background helped shape her understanding of conversations around sexuality after a relative came out before she publicly discussed her own identity.

'Because my family was exposed to it earlier on with my cousin coming out, it wasn't that big of a deal,' she said.

Navarrette added that acceptance can vary significantly depending on a person's circumstances, particularly within some cultural and ethnic communities.

'I know for a fact that I have friends who are queer or lesbian or trans who are in ethnic communities where it's a lot harder,' she said.

Challenges Behind Coming Out Decisions

Navarrette's comments highlighted that coming out is not the same experience for everyone, with factors including family relationships, cultural expectations and personal safety often influencing whether someone feels comfortable sharing their sexuality.

Her remarks focused on the wider pressures faced by LGBTQ+ people rather than presenting coming out as a universal experience.

According to an Instagram post resharing excerpts from her earlier interview, Navarrette's comments have recently circulated again as interest in the actress has grown following Obsession.
