Aisling With Gay and Lesbian Characters
Unlike many celebrities, Aisling also does not mind portraying a gay or lesbian character as she believes that the character that she plays on screen doesn’t define them in real life.
Aisling also gave a mind blogging performance in 2012's BBC miniseries, The Town, where she played the role of a lesbian. In the miniseries, she even shared a passionate kiss with co-actor Kelly Adams.
Not just onscreen, but Aisling is also very vocal about her opinion in real life. She has been supportive towards the people of the LGBTQ community, and her support is even reflected in one of her tweets posted on 28 March 2014. In the tweet, she had supported gay marriage.
In addition, she previously campaigned for same-sex marriage legislation in the successful 2015 Irish referendum.

Aisling Bea’s Bio, Family Life
The 34-years-old Aisling was born on 16 March 1984 in County Kildare, Ireland as Aisling Cliodhnadh O’Sullivan.
Her grandfather was the Irish language novelist and poet Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin; her great-aunt was the playwright Siobhán Ní Shúilleabháin.
Aisling was raised along with her younger sister, Sinéad by her single mother, Helen, a secondary jockey-trainer and a former professional jockey.
Aisling was told that her father, Brian, an equine vet, had suffered a sudden death when she was just three years old. But when Aisling became 13, her mother revealed that her father's death was a suicide.
Therefore, Aisling adopted the stage name ‘Bea’ as a tribute to her father and wrote an article on The Guardian in 2017 about her family's experience of suicide.
