She explained that while many of her friends are queer, for a long time, she didn’t think she could be.While she said she always felt different, she wondered if that feeling had to do with her body size, and she didn’t attribute the difference to her sexuality for years, until she finally realised she was: “a big, old gay.”She said the realisation was “the most liberating thing” and a “massive moment where everything kind of clicked and I made sense of myself.”Since coming out publicly, Gunning said: “It’s been amazing, and very freeing and very grounding.
