Judah, a cast member on TLC’s new reality series ‘Suddenly Amish’, has come out as bisexual.

The series, set in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, follows six non-Amish ("English") participants as they leave modern life behind to live within an Amish community.

Before coming out to his fellow cast members, 22-year-old Judah spoke candidly in a confessional about feeling like he’s had to hide parts of himself: “I’ve always felt and been different. It can just feel like sometimes I have a mask everywhere I go. I kind of just want to take the mask off and be free.”
He added: “I feel like my sexuality, in the Black community, especially for Black men, isn’t really talked about. Anything other than straight is filled with shame… I don’t know if I want to tell my Amish family because I don’t know if the same cycle will happen.”

Judah’s decision to come out unfolds unexpectedly during a light-hearted game of “Shabooya Roll Call”, when he casually declares: “My name is Judah… and I am bi.”

Reflecting on the moment afterwards, he explained: “I decided to tell my English folks about my sexuality. I don’t want to start off with a lie or hiding things. It’s time for me to be who I am for real.”
