Moreover, in 2008, during a Q&A with Advocate.com., she openly shared her privilege on being a lesbian, citing-

I am the proudest, the most thrilled-to-be-lesbian woman you’ll ever meet. I think lesbianism is the biggest privilege. It’s one of the finest privileges of my life. Every woman who lays next to another woman and feels life breathed into her -- and I just did last week in Phoenix! That’s all I have to say.
