Australian comic actress Magda Szubanski came out of the closet while on one of that country's news shows, The Project, according to The Age.
She showed up on the show to express her support for marriage equality. Szubanski, 50, also said, "I absolutely identify as gay and for a very long time have." However, regarding her sexuality, she added a more complex take: "I would say I am gay-gay-gay-gay-gay-gay—a little bit not gay-gay-gay-gay."
Szubanski has also admitted to having suicidal thoughts as a teen while struggling with her sexuality, and has rejected statements by tennis legend Margaret Court that sexuality is a choice.
She has been overwhelmed by the public's response, according to ABC Melbourne. "I'm blown away actually because you never know how these things are going to go," she said. "I'm very grateful for the amazing relationship I have with the Australian public."
Szubanski has been in both Happy Feet movies, the movie The Golden Compass, both Babe films, and the Kath & Kim TV series; she is also in The Kath & Kim Filum, currently in post-production, according to IMDB.com .
