Beatrice Gomez has claimed that her intentions to represent the LGBTQIA+ community during her Miss Universe 2021 stint were sincere, saying that she’s a pansexual woman who’s attracted to anyone regardless of their gender. | HMallorcaINQ
The beauty queen then confirmed that she’s currently in a relationship with someone who’s “from the opposite sex.” She clarified, however, that this does not change her sexuality, or subtract from her advocacy, having campaigned for the LGBTQIA+ community’s rights since 2015.
“It isn’t easy to embrace my sexuality especially when it comes with people not accepting me for who I am and experiencing bullying, discrimination, and harrassment. It could have been much easier for me to just stay in the closet and have everyone’s support but there I was continuing the fight as my platform got bigger,” she continued.
“It vexes me when people tell me that I just claimed to be a member of the LGBTQIA+ community to hype up my reign in 2021 when my representation of the LGBTQIA+ community has been an ongoing advocacy way before I even came across pageants,” she continued.
