Although most people were supportive when Anna Paquin revealed a few years ago that she is bisexual, there was a firm and vociferous minority who weren’t impressed and were unfraid to show it. Particularly as she was talking about bisexuality (and while in a relationship with a man at the time), the backlash and bitchiness came from both homophobes and bi-phobic gay people.
She’s been talking about that to HuffPost Live about that reaction, saying, “There’s people who are probably going to go to their grave thinking whatever they think about the LGBT community – that’s their problem, not mine. I know there are a lot of hateful people in the world who have strong opinions. You know when you stick your neck out on certain topics that some people are going to go ‘Yay!’ and some people are going to say some of the most vile things that you can imagine.”
Although she’s now married to fellow True Blood actor Stephen Moyer and has two children, she is keen to point out that this doesn’t make her any less bisexual. One of the reasons she’s more than happy to talk about her sexuality is, “That the more normal and mundane and boring this stuff becomes, the better it’s going to be for everyone who is part of our community.”
