Anna Paquin has been married to True Blood co-star Stephen Meyer for two years, but the now pregnant actress has reminded us all she is still bisexual, in case some of us forgot.
In 2010 Paquin (who you might remember from The Piano) came out as a bisexual woman and proud supporter of gay rights. She recently popped back into the conversation on gay rights when she spoke out about her sexuality again in an interview with US magazine Zooey.
“I’m sure for some people saying they’re bisexual feels less scary than making a statement that they’re gay.
“For me, it’s not really an issue because I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision. It’s not being greedy or numerous other ignorant things I’ve heard at this point.
“For a bisexual, it’s not about gender. That’s not the deciding factor for who they’re attracted to.”

I'm proud of Anna for coming out and especially for her comment about the ignorant remarks people make about bisexuality. Having a celebrity be open about her sexuality will definitely help others feel safer to be themselves. Go Anna!
'...but the now pregnant actress has reminded us all she is still bisexual, in case some of us forgot.' Not really keen on the tone of this line...
It's not like she stood up and told people - 'don't forget! I'm bisexual!'
It would have been put to her as part of her interview, I feel this makes it sound like she HAS to keep mentioning it.
I don't tell everyone that I am bisexual all the time even though I am and I have been with my partner for 7 years and had two children. The reaction you receive is not always a nice one, although I am still proud of who I am.
If I am asked directly I would definitely speak about who I am and my support for other bisexual people and gay rights
