Inspired by the massacre in which 49 people died at a gay club in Orlando, actress Mara Wilson has come out on Twitter.

Fucking hell, Orlando

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016

Wilson, who starred in Mrs Doubtfire and Matilda, expressed her shock at the massacre on Sunday, continuing with a series of tweets in which she revealed she had “learned something about myself” in her early 20s.

Me at a gay club when I was eighteen. I feel embarrassed looking at it now… pic.twitter.com/qMZec3WBvu

Being a "straight girl" where I clearly didn't belong, but I will say, I felt so welcomed there.

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016

I have never had a better experience at a club than I did then. Great music and people. And one of my friends met his partner that night!

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 12, 2016

But the LGBTQ community has always felt like home, especially a few years later when I, uh, learned something about myself.

When followers asked her to elaborate, Wilson stated that she was a 2 on the Kinsey scale.

does this mean you are bisexual, nonbinary..? It's nice to have people who we can look up to that have a known name

— Esmeralda Canaire (@Esmer_Canary) June 13, 2016

Let me put it this way: I'm a 2. https://t.co/VA98ZK0a37

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 13, 2016

One fan wasn't too happy that Wilson described herself as “mostly straight.” However, the actress continued by stating that she has “embraced the Bi/Queer label lately.”

.@__SonjaLouise__ I said I *used* to identify as mostly straight. I've embraced the Bi/Queer label lately

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 14, 2016

Thank you so much to everybody who has sent me words of support. I support you all, too. ❤️

— Mara Wilson (@MaraWilson) June 14, 2016

Wilson's book Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame is out in September.
