Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Stephanie Beatriz, who plays Rosa Diaz on the show, says she's "still bi", even if she's marrying a man.<\/p>\n

She's written about her experience of not feeling "gay enough", feeling like an "outsider" and having her sexuality "misjudged", in an article for GQ.<\/p>\n

"In October, I will marry a heterosexual man... but I'll be bi till the day I die," she says.<\/p>\n

Many have thanked her for explaining the bisexual experience "so perfectly".<\/p>\n

"To be bi is a continual series of coming out moments," Stephanie writes. <\/p>\n

"Bisexuality often needs an explanation. It isn't something you can often 'read' on a person and because of that bi people sometimes feel like an invisible part of the LGBTQIA community."<\/p>\n

The letters LGBTQIA stand for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and asexual or allied.<\/p>\n

Stephanie describes her frustrations with having her sexuality defined by "who we're partnered with at any given moment," but says she wants to speak publicly about her experience.<\/p>\n

"I've chosen to use that platform to speak openly about my bi-ness, because of other people who may feel invisible and unsure of whether or not to come out as bisexual."<\/p>\n

Some people on Twitter have shared how they relate with Stephanie's story.<\/p>\n

Stephanie's character in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Rosa, comes out as bi in the show.<\/p>\n

Executive producer Dan Goor previously said that idea was influenced by the fact she came out in real life.<\/p>\n

She came out publicly on Twitter in 2016 with a simple three-letter word - "yup".<\/p>\n

The comment was in response to a quote from Parks and Recreation actress Aubrey Plaza that said: "I fall in love with girls and guys. I can't help it".<\/p>\n

Stephanie confirmed the news further with an emoji of a man and woman kissing and two women kissing. <\/p>\n

Expanding on her experience in the essay, Stephanie says it "feels good to be out", even though "it's still scary sometimes".<\/p>\n

"I feel like an outsider so often. But those moments of discomfort are worth it.<\/p>\n

"Living authentically gives me so much joy and feels so honest and good."<\/p>\n
