'Overcompensating' star Mary Beth Barone's Pride plans? 'Sex with women'
Actor, comedian, and Overcompensating star Mary Beth Barone attended The Hollywood Reporter and GLAAD's "The Celebration of Pride" event on Wednesday, June 11 and was asked about her plans for Pride Month."I'm going to have sex with women," Barone said. "I think that's the best way I can do it."This particular event was packed with queer talent, including the cast of the popular Prime Video series. (@) Barone's response was reposted by culture connoisseur Evan Ross Katz. "A perfect response, absolutely no notes," Katz's caption reads. Barone responded with a comment saying, "Thank you for amplifying."Some commenters were surprised by her response because many weren't aware that she identified as queer.Those who knew Barone before her breakout moment in Benito Skinner's show, Overcompensating, know that she's spoken openly about being bisexual in her stand-up comedy.In a video posted to TikTok on February 25, she shared her experience telling people she's queer. @marybethbarone I think I like this little life :) ps I posted the first half of this joke on here a while ago in a different outfit before u come for me for theft #lgbtq #standup #comedy "Being bi is so much fun because gay people hate you," Barone says in the video. "And straight people don't believe you. They especially don't believe you when you date a guy. That's the one thing all have in common, we all end up with guys." "I've learned so much from dating women. Did you know lesbian sex is just tickling?" she says to uproarious laughter. "It takes a while, but we get there."The comic also joked about the process of coming out and identifying as bisexual in a separate stand-up video. @marybethbarone giving a voice to the voiceless (bi girls who use shampoo) FULL SPECIAL MARCH 21 #comedy #standup #lgbtq Barone isn't the only queer person in Overcompensating which is still waiting for a season 2 renewal confirmation.Most of the cast is a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
