Bailey wants to use her platform to inspire others. After coming out as pansexual, she told ET that she wanted to be a role model for the queer community. "I've said this multiple times, that if you don't feel safe to come out and you're worried, then maybe wait until you are safe and make sure. To people who are dealing with and are struggling with the backlash and the hatred towards it, you have a community that loves you. Social media is a great outlet. You will find people, you will, no matter what kind of person you are in the world, you will find your person. You're always safe and welcome with me."

Bailey is sure of herself. She talked about it in the caption of this Instagram post. "Everyone that I want to like me does. The energy that is meant for me will always inherently belong to me and will flow easily and naturally into my life. You cannot please everyone and the only person you HAVE to live with is yourself. So make it special."
