On June 3, 2020, Lili Reinhart took to her Instagram Stories to announce her participation in an LGBTQ+ For #BlackLivesMatter protest in West Hollywood, Calif. Not only did the actor encourage fans to join her, but she also revealed an important fact about her life. "Although I've never announced it publicly before, I am a proud bisexual woman," she captioned a flyer with details about the event, per Us Weekly. "And I will be joining this protest today. Come join."
The timing of Reinhart's announcement is especially poignant as June honors Pride Month.
Reinhart has also spoken out about the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died on May 25, 2020, while in the custody of Minneapolis police. "I want to say that I am ashamed of the racism that exists in this country," she penned on Twitter. "We are taught to look at our police officers as helpful and friendly when we learn about "leaders" in elementary school. Our 'leaders' have failed us today."
Reinhart isn't the only celeb who has spoken out about the protests demanding justice for Floyd — here's an inside look at John Cusack's police encounter during the Chicago protests.
