Hocus Pocus Actress Thora Birch Comes Out as Bisexual
‘Hocus Pocus’ Star Thora Birch Makes Rare Appearance at Cannes 32 Years After Film’s Debut
Thora Birch is sharing a magical truth.
While expressing her support for the LGBTQ+ community, the Hocus Pocus alum came out as bisexual and reflected on how the community has made a significant impact on her life.
“As a hometown girl, I’m always here to show my support for the community,” Thora told Us Weekly at The Abbey’s 35th Anniversary in West Hollywood May 20, “which shaped so much of who I am and my identity as well, being a bi person.”
Thora—who married talent manager Michael Benton Adler in 2018—emphasized the importance of finding a strong community, especially amid the current time of division.
“Stand with them, and stick with them,” she said, “and share that love that you share together, and reach it toward others.”
“That’s the only way we’re going to get through all this madness is just embracing one another,” Thora continued. “We have to stop fighting.”
Along with celebrating The Abbey and the queer community, the 44-year-old—who notably starred in multiple ’90s and early 2000s classics such as Now and Then, American Beauty and Ghost World—shared that, like many fans, she’s also curious where her iconic characters ended up.
