The Bishop Auckland Conservative MP said coming out is “no big deal” in an interview with GB News.
The 28-year-old was elected as an MP for Bishop Auckland in 2019 and was the first Conservative to win the seat.
Speaking to GB News, Davison revealed she had chosen not to speak publicly about her sexuality as she ‘did not want being bi to be considered a big deal’.
However, the MP also said she wouldn’t actively hide her identity in the same interview: “If anyone were to explicitly ask me, I certainly wouldn’t try and hide it because I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of.”
It is believed Davison is the first female Tory MP to publicly come out as bisexual.
The 28-year-old continued to elaboration that this is “just part of who I am” and was reluctant to do a “very public” coming out as it could further stigmatise bisexual as “something unusual.'”
“If anyone were to explicitly ask me, I certainly wouldn’t try and hide it because I don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of,” Davison said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
