Mexican actress Kenia Gascón, who is currently appearing on TV Azteca’s Quiéreme Tonto, told TVNotas magazine last week that she is a lesbian.

“I’ve spent my entire life pretending, pleasing others out of fear of losing my job or other opportunities,” Gascón said, according to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. “But in the end you lose your identity, ultimately limiting yourself.”

She said that she has been in a relationship with her partner, architect Andrea Vincze, for six years.

“I think we met at a mature stage in our lives," she said. "It’s been really cool because the focal point was mutual admiration.”
