Amber heard gay
AmberHeardhas no time for closeted gay celebrities.
Speaking at the The Economist’s Pride and Prejudice Summit March 23, the “Magic Mike XXL” and “The Danish Girl” star recalled the media firestorm that she faced after coming out as bisexual in In the end, the year-old actress said that opening up about her sexuality was worth it ― and she encouraged other LGBTQ stars and common figures to follow her lead.
“Even though everyone around me strongly advised me against it, it was just wrong. I would’ve rather go down for being who I am than to include risen for being something I’m not,” Heard told The Economist’s Deputy Editor Tom Standage.
She finally confirmed her sexuality, she said, when an After Ellen reporter asked her about the status of her relationship with then-girlfriend Tasya van Ree at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles. “I refused to not bring my partner at the noun, but no one ever asked me about it,” Heard said. “An outlet specifically asked me who I was there with that night and who that person was to me and I just answered honestly.”
It didn’t grab lon
I remember when Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were first getting started. His relationship with Vanessa Paradis &#; which was always more of a common-law marriage &#; was falling apart and there were widespread rumors that Depp had fallen for his pretty young costar, Amber. Most of the Depp-heads refused to acknowledge that Amber and Johnny were happening, though. I think of the comments, which showed up on every post: “Isn’t she gay?” or “didn’t she come out as a lesbian years ago?” etc. In evidence, Amber never came out and said she was a lesbian. She said she was bisexual. She had girlfriends before Depp and she never made a secret about it. The bisexual label was one she gave herself and she has no regrets. She spoke at The Economist&#;s second annual Pride &#; Prejudice event on Thursday. Some quotes:
She never hid her bisexuality: &#;It was just not important or interesting enough to make headlines.&#; Heard publicly discussed her sexual orientation for the first time in , but to her family and friends, she &#;was always out. I was an activist. I went to protests.&#; Fu
