Away from television since she starred last year in the soap opera Beauty and the Beasts, Esmeralda Pimentel acknowledged in a recent interview for the Mexican newspaper El Universal that as a child she also came to feel attracted to other girls; However, the lack of references in her closest environment prevented her from naming her and understanding what she was feeling.

"I grew up and always, I liked girls and I liked boys and I never had a reference in my family or on television, theater or cinema that would help me understand and identify myself," declared the unforgettable heroine of melodrama El color of passion.

“And I, who come from a town like Zapotlánel Grande, Jalisco, always grew up with many lawsuits, with many doubts, with many conflicts, until recently over the years there have been more such stories of sexual and gender diversity and love stories where no matter what your preference is, you feel identified, added the Mexican star.

The actress, who has had an affair with actor Osvaldo Benavides for a year and a half, made this sincere confession as part of her participation in Cuorum, the Independent Festival of Cinema for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Morelia, which this year will feature her presence.

"My interest in this type of encounter comes from a place of great love," acknowledged the 30-year-old interpreter, who has more than 2 million followers on Instagram alone.

"I think that when we talk about sexual diversity we are talking about freedom and that at this very painful and effervescent moment in the country where we distrust the people who should take care of our safety, it is important that there are spaces where love is shared, where people talk about freedom and remember who we are, "said Pimentel.
