About this Quote

In this quote, Portia de Rossi reveals disappointment and annoyance at needing to encourage others of her sexual preference. As a member of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, she likely dealt with discrimination and prejudice from those who refused to believe or accept her identity. This continuous struggle to prove her real self to others was not only tiring but likewise a reminder of the continuous fight for acceptance and equality. Despite the challenges, de Rossi remains happy and unapologetic about her identity, as evidenced by her usage of the word "gay" instead of a more neutral term. This quote highlights the struggles and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community in the face of social standards and expectations.
