Thora Birch, 44, publicly said she is bisexual while attending The Abbey's 35th anniversary celebration in West Hollywood on May 20.
Speaking on the red carpet, the "Hocus Pocus" actress tied the disclosure to her support for the LGBTQ+ community, saying it helped shape her identity.
Birch, who grew up within walking distance of The Abbey, called on people to find community, stand with one another and "stop fighting" amid broader tensions.
The event highlighted Birch's personal link to the landmark gay bar, which her representative said has long felt like home to her since its 1991 opening.
After decades in Hollywood, why did Thora Birch choose this moment to publicly embrace her bisexuality?
How might Birch's story challenge public understanding of bisexuality for those within heterosexual marriages?
