Liv publicly came out as nonbinary after being out with their family and friends for nine years. They shared, “It was a risk, yes, but at the end of the day, I really felt it was a risk I had to take. It was not sustainable to compartmentalize myself.”
Last year, they refused to participate in Emmy nominations because the award categories are still gender specific. Liv explained, “My issue is so structural, I don’t think it would be honest for me to attempt to work within this system. Here’s what I thought about: Best-case scenario, career-wise, I, hypothetically, would be nominated for an Emmy, which would be an honor. Then the best-case scenario is that I would, hypothetically, win. And then I would go home with a trophy that says ‘actress’ on it. I don’t want that.”
