Actor François Arnaud Comes Out As Bisexual
Canadian actor François Arnaud, who played Cesare Borgia on Showtimes’ ‘The Borgias’, has come out as bisexual.
“Last week, I was chatting with work friends, and as I brought up a trip I’d taken with an ex-girlfriend, I asked myself —for the ten-thousandth time— how to tell such a story without making it seem like that was the whole story of me,” he stated on a story on his Instagram profile.
Arnaud explained how “many bisexual guys feel the same way” and end up “letting other people’s assumptions of straightness stand uncorrected.”
As ‘Out’ reports, the 35-year-old actor then explained the difficulties that come with coming out such as the “fear of oversharing” or “because ‘masculinity’ is a most fragile currency, ready to nose-dive at the first sign of vulnerability or difference.”
Arnaud admitted part of the reason many bisexuals remain closeted is “because it’s really fucking scary to give up your privilege. Without a doubt because stigmas of indecisiveness, infidelity, deception and trendiness are still clinging to bisexuality.”
“But here’s the thing,” Arnaud went on. “Silence has the perverse effect of perpetuating those stereotypes, making bi guys invisible, and leading people to doubt that we even exist. No wonder it’s still a chore to acknowledge bisexuality without getting into lengthy explanations. So yes, labels are frustrating and words, imperfect. But I’ve always considered myself bisexual. Not confused or trying to look edgy. Not disloyal. Not ashamed. Not invisible. Happy #bivisibilityday this Wednesday.”
