In the height of her 'Married... With Children' career, Amanda announced that she was a lesbian. Since then, she has been a strong advocate for LGBT rights, and has made numerous public appearances talking about this cause.

There were not a lot of openly gay actors and actresses during the 90's, and so it was a very big moment for Bearse.

"There's been an enormous positive experience from the gay community, and I'm getting a lot of offers from various organizations to speak or be on panels."
