Carole Baskin: "I've always considered myself bisexual"

"Tiger King" star Carole Baskin has come out. She is bisexual, even if she has been married to her husband for 16 years.

The animal rights activist Carole Baskin (59) from the Netflix series "Tiger King" speaks openly about her sexual orientation for the first time. She told Pink News, "I've always seen myself as bisexual. Though I've never had a wife, I could just as easily be married to a woman as to a man." The 59-year-old has been married to her husband Howard Baskin for 16 years.

However, the 59-year-old does not like the division into sexual camps. Baskin: "I think we are all one and I just don't see ourselves as different genders or colors or anything".

As a child she was a very wild girl that was not interested in dolls. She ascribes "masculine" attributes to herself, she never felt maternal instincts. In the 1980s she was engaged to a psychologist who worked with HIV patients in the LGBTQ community. In contact with lesbian women, she discovered that she could also fall in love with her own gender.

Joe Exotic's homosexuality is "unimportant"

When asked about Joe Exotic (57), her adversary in "Tiger King", who is currently serving a prison term for attempted murder on the ranger, Baskin replies that he is "an embarrassment for human society". She thinks he is a "vicious narcissist who is all about himself". That Exotic is homosexual would be "unimportant".
