“I would have hated myself less”: Cara Delevingne wishes she had LGBTQ+ role models growing up
gaytimes.co.ukCara Delevingne said she would “not have been so ashamed” of herself if she had an LGBTQ+ role model when she was younger. The 29-year-old, who is bisexual and pansexual, also explained that coming to terms with her sexuality made her suicidal.
Cara told Harper’s Bazaar UK that having LGBTQ+ people to look up to would have made all the difference for her. “I do think I would have hated myself less, I would have not been so ashamed, if I’d had someone,” the model stated. “The one thing I’m happy about growing up queer and fighting it and hiding it is, it gives me so much fire and drive to try to make people’s lives easier in some way by talking about it.” She also told the outlet about her desire to have children.
Cara added: “I want to have babies. But not yet. “I buy children’s clothes for my future child who doesn’t exist. “Baby shoes really get me – they break my heart.
