Tiger King’s Carole Baskin Comes Out As Bisexual
Tiger King star and Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin has come out as bisexual.
“I have always considered myself to be bisexual. Even though I’ve never had a wife, I could just as easily have a wife as a husband,” Baskin said in an interview.
Baskin shared that she started exploring her sexuality in the '80s, when she was engaged to a psychologist who was working with patients in the LGBT+ community who had been affected by the HIV crisis.
“I was always very male-oriented in the things I did … I never had any mothering instincts or anything, you know, I never played with dolls. And so I always thought that there was something off there, that I couldn’t quite put my finger on,” she recalled of her childhood.
“But it was during the ’80s that I discovered that through dealing with the LGBT+ community that I [realized] I had just as equal feelings for women as I did for men,” Baskin continued.
She added, “As far as the way I feel about us, I think we are all one and I just don’t see us as being different genders or different colors or anything.”
As ‘People’ reports, the big-cat enthusiast has been married to Howard Baskin for 16 years. She was previously married to Don Lewis, who vanished on Aug. 18, 1997 and was later declared dead.
