Kath and Kim Actress Comes Out
Kath and Kim actress Magda Szubanski has come out as gay in support of the Australian fight for marriage equality.
The Aussie actress, who played accident-prone Sharon on the cult comedy from 2002-2005, released a Valentine's Day statement in which she revealed her sexuality and pledged her support to the on-going fight for marriage equality.
"All Australians, including gay Australians, should have exactly the same rights, including the right to love, marry and take care of our partners," the statement said.
Szubanski (pictured far right) later appeared on a TV panel show, telling viewers that her friends and family had known she was gay for decades.
"All my colleagues knew, " she told The Project panel.
"It's not like I was running around hiding it, but there's a difference between living life openly and living life absolutely publicly."
