Julianne Hough Reveals Why She Came Out as ‘Not Straight’
She Knows ^ | Sep 23, 2019 | Zara Hanawalt

Julianne Hough recently posed nude on the cover of a magazine — but what she said during her interview was far more revealing than the photos. Now, Hough is reflecting about coming out as “not straight,” and how the admission has affected her sense of self.

The America’s Got Talent judge opened up about her marriage to husband Brooks Laich during the interview — and made headlines when she recalled a conversation she’d had with him. “I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’” Hough told Women’s Health. “And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.'”

While Hough did not flat-out say she identifies as bisexual, the fact that she publicly identifies as “not straight” despite the fact that she’s currently in a marriage with a man matters. It’s a major step in the fight against bi-erasure, and opening up about her sexuality has helped Hough feel like she’s finally living her most authentic life as well.

“I have never felt more like a woman in my life, and I’ve always been the girl next door, all-American sweetheart. And that’s a version and a part of me, but it’s not all of who I am, and I didn’t even know that about me. So the last few years have been about me picking up all parts of who I am and the parts that I’ve suppressed over probably 25 years,” the dancer said, as People reports.

She also shared that deciding to come out to her husband was tough. “I was connecting to the woman inside that doesn’t need anything, versus the little girl that looked to him to protect me,” she told People. “I was like, ‘Is he going to love this version of me?’ But the more I dropped into my most authentic self, the more attracted he was to me.”

Publicly embracing her sexuality has clearly made Hough feel empowered in a whole new way. To that effect, she recently released her first single in ten years, and it’s called — fittingly enough — “Transform.”

“For two years I have been picking those pieces up, nurturing them – and transforming them. I’m not trying to change who I am or suppress those parts of me anymore – but instead, I acknowledge them, take them and TRANSFORM them,” Hough wrote in a recent Instagram post in honor of the single. “As I was doing that in my daily life, I realized all of a sudden that my creativity, my life blood, the entire essence of WHO I AM was coming ALIVE.⁣⁣”

He’s okay with it. For now.

Meanwhile, he’s looking for a total woman.

That is, unless he likes the kinky stuff about her.

Still won’t last long together.

Why do these people think that everybody needs to know stuff about their personal lives?

Nobody has any dignity anymore...

Who ?! Kill your tv set.

I pretty much don't watch anything produced after 1985, except occasionally Blue Bloods on CBS, a fine show on balance. I get alternative networks like MeTV, Antenna TV, Decades, and the like which feature great shows all the way back to the 1950's.

There are times when she looks amazing. There are times when she certainly doesn’t.

I fall back on my two-by-four test.

When you’re standing next to a two-by-four making comments, if the two-by-four is starting to look more intelligent by the moment, it’s probably a good time to adopt it’s public statement policy.

In other words, she’s ashamed to be straight.

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to Google her to find out who she is. Julianne Hough, who?

“I’ve never been with a woman, have never loved a woman, but I told my husband, ‘I’m a straight girl trapped in a lesbian’s body,’ and it’s so important that he accepted that.”

Weirdly I thought it was her brother who would have made the coming out proclamation. I guess that’s later.

I always felt there was something a bit off with her. Turns out she’s been spending too much time shucking clams.

Degenerate.

She is an “out of the closet” degenerate.
