Dove Cameronis continuing to come to a better understanding of who she is.JoiningPEOPLE in 10on Thursday, Cameron opens up about how her life has changed since coming out as queer. “I have allowed myself to be more seen and supported and held than I had previously,” says theDescendantsstar, 25. “I’ve always been exactly the same. Like, I’ve never pretended to be anything that I wasn’t.“Adds theSchmigadoon!star: “But through the public acknowledgement of my sexuality, I feel like I’m living my life more bare, which feels really vulnerable, but I’m also trying to be okay with that.“Cameron came out as bisexual while hosting an Instagram Live session in 2020, but recently toldGay Timesthat “queer” is the label that best suits her.“I’m not a label person, but I would say that I am queer and that’s probably my most accurate way to represent myself,” she said in the publication’s summer issue. “With the process of coming out, it was about who I am as a whole rather than who I choose to date or sleep with. I’m choosing to love myself, to be who I am every day and not edit myself depending on the room that I’m in. I’m making no apologies for who I am. I’m not saying it slightly differently to make people more comfortable.“Amy Sussman/KCA2021/Getty ImagesNever miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE’s free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.TheLiv and Maddiealum recalled being “really nervous” to come out, but “one day, I dropped it because I was behaving like somebody who was out and I realized I wasn’t,” she said.“When you are who you are, you assume people see that,” she toldGay Times. “And then you realize, ‘No, I have to come out, otherwise people aren’t gonna know.'“Last month,Cameron celebrated her first Pride Monthsince publicly coming out.“I feel different being out and having people say things like that to me, like, ‘Happy Pride Month.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, thank you.
