Rosie Perez says she’s “quasi-straight” and reveals she had a lesbian experience as an adolescent in Catholic school.
“I met this girl named Michelle, [and ] all I wanted to do was hump her . . . and I suppressed the urge until Michelle, one day, started humping on me,” she said.
At the TrevorLive event on Monday hosted by LGBTQ youth organization the Trevor Project, the actress added, “I’m not the only one who went through this questioning period. I’m not the only one that suppressed those feelings, who hid their story . . . I’m not lesbian, gay or whatever. I’m a quasi-straight person. I still went through that period, and thought I was all alone.”

Perez, now married to Eric Haze, added Michelle eventually stopped being her friend.
“I remember that hurt and that hurt kept me silent, and that silence brought shame. I didn’t have a community. No, I’m not gay, lesbian, transgender . . . but I’m a human being,” she said.
