During an episode of her ‘Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best‘ podcast, Philipps revealed Bridie to be gay. 

She said that Birdie came out as gay when Birdie was 10 and wished to be pronounced as they/them. 

Birdie was ok with telling the world about her sexuality as she didn’t care at all. She told her mom that she could talk about how she was gay and out and talk about her pronouns. 

She also went on to share how Bridie’s words made her emotional after she found Bridie lying on the floor listening to Harry Styles’s Fine Line album. 

When Philipps asked her if she wanted to share anything with her, and in her reply, she poured her feeling into being alive but not living. 

Philipps explained to Bridie that one gets to build their life however they want to and does not have to look like anything one has ever seen or anything that’s ever been modeled for one as it might not exist.

However, there always remains a fear deep down for a mother when it comes to protecting her kids. 

Philipps admitted to not being able to control when it comes to her daughter Birdie. She fears that her daughter will be sexually assaulted in her life.
