Jamie Lee Curtis ‘fully accepts’ outing closeted politicians who push anti-LGBTQ agendas.

The original Scream Queen has been an advocate for the LGBTQ community and has never been shy to voice her opinions in support of the community.

And now, while promoting her latest movie Knives Out, the Halloween star says she believes sexuality and coming out are personal topics for that person… unless they are closeted politicians voting against LGBTQ rights.

While speaking to Pride Source, the actress – who starred as an LGBTQ character in Spare Parts – said: “I don’t think it’s anybody’s business what people’s sexuality is, to be perfectly honest.

“I find it like a reverse discrimination. People’s private lives are their private lives and whether I’ve ever kissed a girl – have not – is irrelevant to whatever advocacy I participate in.

“[Unless] you legislate anti-gay legislation but are gay. I fully accept outing those people for the hypocrisy.”
