Amber Heard has revealed she is gay
The ‘Pineapple Express’ actress stepped out with her
partner Tasya van Ree at the Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation (GLAAD) 25th anniversary party in Hollywood on Friday
(03.12.10), and credited the organisation for helping her want to be
open about her sexuality.
Talking about her decision, she said: “I think GLAAD is one of the many
reasons that I, as a 24 year old, can come out. I think that
organisations like GLAAD make that possible because if it weren’t for
opinions being changed, people being influenced, people being engaged
to do the right thing, then there would be no prerogative for anyone to
come out.
“Like I said, I can’t be a part of the problem. I hate the idea of a
label just as much as anyone else but I’m with who I’m with, I love who
I love.
“I personally think if you deny something or if you hide something
you’re inadvertently admitting it’s wrong. I don’t feel like I’m wrong.”
Amber, 24, has been dating photographer and artist Tasya since 2008,
but Friday was the first time they have publicly been out together.
Speaking about her girlfriend, Amber told website AfterEllen.com: "She
is beautiful - I mean, you'd have to be crazy not to want to go out
with her."
