Tiger King‘s Carole Baskin Comes Out as Bisexual: ‘I Could Just as Easily Have a Wife as a Husband’

Carole Baskin has a bombshell for all the cool cats and kittens … she’s sexually attracted to men and women. The ‘Tiger King’ and ‘DWTS’ star just came out as bisexual … Carole tells PinkNews she discovered her truth back during the AIDS crisis in the 80s when she was spending lots of time with the LGBT+ community.

While it’s a surprise to some folks, Carole says she’s always considered herself bisexual and feels she might have been born in the wrong body because growing up she was a tomboy.

Carole says she finally put her finger on it in the 80s when she was dating a psychologist who was immersed in the LGBT+ community. It was then Carole says she realized she had the same feelings for men and women.

Carole’s on her second marriage — she married Howard Baskin after Don Lewis‘ mysterious disappearance — but she says she could have easily married a woman instead.

“It was during the period when AIDS was just wreaking havoc around the world, and people were losing their loved ones, and so I became very close to people in that community then.”

Baskin went on to explain that she felt she was “probably born into the wrong body” and called herself “such a tomboy”.

“But it was during the ’80s that I discovered that through dealing with the LGBT+ community that I [realized] I had just as equal feelings for women as I did for men.”

She continued: “I have always considered myself to be bisexual. Even though I’ve never had a wife, I could just as easily have a wife as a husband.

“As far as the way I feel about us, I think we are all one and I just don’t see us as being different genders or different colors or anything.”

“It’s just been a huge publicity stunt on their part so what more could they possibly do than that,” Baskin had said.

She added: “I’m not worried about what people say because even when they’re saying things that [are] negative, it’s keeping the conversation out there [about cats] in the public eye.”
