What We Just Learned About Andrew Cuomo's Daughter Michaela

In support of Pride month, Andrew Cuomo's youngest daughter took to Instagram to share some personal information with her 20,000 friends and followers. On Thursday, Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo shared, "Today, I stand in my queer identity with pride, and in memory of those who came before me. I stand indebted to the activists who fought for my right to love and happiness. I stand with a helping hand outreached to those finding their way from under socially constructed boxes to emerge from the closet. I'm standing with you."

Though queer is a loose identification that can represent nearly any person in the LGBTQIA+ community, according to the Human Rights Campaign, the 23-year-old identified as bisexual later on in her post when pointing out Instagram's censoring of LGBTQ hashtags like #lesbian and #bi. "To @instagram when you censor the #LGBTQ community and words such as #lesbian and #bi you condemn sexual identities to vulgar fetishes and porn niches." She continued, "When you strip my ability to find queer content and community, you damn sexual minorities to exist on the internet only as fringe groups to objectify. If #bi weren't censored, maybe I could have accessed the information and tools that as a bisexual person I would need to protect myself from increased rates of sexual victimization, homelessness, hunger, unemployment, hate crimes, and mental health challenges."
