Issa Pressman shared an inspiring message to social media followers to mark Pride Month.
On Instagram, she noted how she has been "blessed" to experience "love" from both men and women.
"Blessed to be seeing who they are & how they loved me. Seeing beyond the physical," she said.
According to her, it’s the "heart, personality, dreams, and the connection" that becomes the basis of these relationships.
Issa shared that she first came out to sister Yassi via phone call.
"At 16, I was living alone. One night, I couldn’t sleep, I decided to come out to her. It was surprising news for her but she accepted me. If any, it was a start of us being solid,” she said.
“A couple of years after, I told my dad. He was honest he wasn’t for it, but said, ‘If this is what makes you happy, then be it,’ and he was there for me all the way.”
Issa reiterated that point of her post is that everything could have gone south if it weren’t for her loved ones.
"So may I inspire each household, friend group & work environment to accept & respect a loved one who wishes to or is too scared to come out," she said.
"At the end of the day, we should be on the side of happiness. We want to see the people we love glow. Let them be PROUD.”
In 2018, Issa made headlines making public her relationship with a girl.
She was in the news most recently, being romantically linked to James Reid.
