Nash added at the time that she didn’t feel her marriage to Betts “is my coming out of anywhere, but rather a going into myself and being honest about who I love.”
“A lot of people say that, like, ‘Oh, you came out!’ and I say, ‘Well, from out of where?’ You know what I mean?” Nash said of her sexuality. “I wasn’t anywhere to come out of. I wasn’t living a sexually repressed life when I was married to men, I just loved them when I loved them. And now I love her.”
