She referred to the Kinsey scale, also called the Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, from the 1940s reports on human sexuality by sexologist Alfred Kinsey.
According to the Kinsey scale, a No 2 person is "predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual".
"Your support is much appreciated," she added.
Your support is much appreciated. I will say, though, I'm still gonna be pretty private about my relationships, as I always have been.

Explaining why she referred to being a 2, Ms Wilson said:
I know a lot of people don't like the Kinsey scale, and that is fine by me. But I'm pragmatic at heart and find comfort in numbers.
