If you're a desperately sad bitch like me, you will have been following every single move (and hair cut, and outfit) Kristen Stewart has made since Twilight/broke up with Robert Pattinson in 2012.
Last month we were blessed to get some first look pictures of her from the set of Elizabeth Banks' Charlie's Angels reboot - and now we even have a trailer thank F. In some Insta pics posted by her co-stars, Kristen is seen licking Ella Balinska's shoulder and holding her hand. And yeahhh, that's why LGBTQ+ fans (me, mainly) are calling the reboot Charlie's GAYngels.
Anyway, my point is, my angel K.S. is pretty bloody open about her sexuality, and has been since she said she was "like, so gay, dude" on Saturday Night Live in 2017. And in a new interview with Associated Press, she explained why she decided to start speaking out more about sexual fluidity, and holding hands/being seen with female partners in public, a few years ago.
On the topic of the recent celebs who've spoken openly about their fluid sexuality (Sophie Turner, recently said she "loves a soul, not a gender"), Kristen said it "makes me so happy". She also said she'd been asked to define her sexuality over and over again.
"I felt this huge responsibility [to define her sexuality] like one that I was really genuinely worried about, if I wasn’t able to say one way or the other, then was I sort of like forsaking a side."
She went on to say she was worried people would accuse her on not "setting an example", adding, "the fact you don't have to [identify as simply straight or gay] now is so much more truthful."
Everyone's clicking on...
She added, "Whether or not you like girls or boys, doesn't even begin to describe who you are on the inside. I feel like we don't even have the words to explain the complexities of identity right now."
Back in 2015, she told Nylon, "If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it. But I am an actress, man. I live in the fucking ambiguity of this life and I love it.
"I don't feel like it would be true for me to be like, 'I'm coming out!' I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don't think it's necessary to figure out if you're gay or straight. It's like, just do your thing."
