Earlier this year, 'True Blood' and 'X-Men' star Anna Paquin surprised Hollywood when she announced she was bisexual in a PSA for the Give a Damn campaign. It was the first time the actress, who is engaged to 'True Blood' co-star Stephen Moyer, made her sexual preferences public. Now, Paquin is revealing why. The actress told Zap2It why she spoke up and why she didn't think she'd done anything remarkable by coming out.
"I'm not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason, but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about -- and frankly, I don't see why everyone doesn't care about them, " the actress said. "So when I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just an obvious, 'Well, of course I will.'"

I think there are more like her than people think or realize & there is nothing wrong with it. It has nothing to do with what kind of person anyone is or how they are as a human being.

soooooo....why not sleep with everyone abd anything why discriminate at all...what a role model Hollywood at it's best
there is nothing wrong with it. If there is nothing WRONG with it,then why HIDE IT ?????? If there is NOTHING wrong with it,then why is it UNNATURAL ??????????
Sieben13, Is the "13" your age or IQ? Sexual parameters are man-made and man-controlled. In nature, bi-sexuality exists side-by-side with so-called "straight" sex. Religious zealots are what see anything other than man-woman sexual relationships as being unnatural.
I agree tired, there is a differnce betwen gay and bi, being bi is a choice. They are just very sexual people who enjoy both sexes, or enjoy sex wher ever they can get it, out right gay people I feel do not have a choice, its what they are sexually attracted to there is no choice there. its what their bodies and minds go after. I just dont understand why its ok for women to experiment with their sexuality and then choose which ever side they are on later in life, but if man explores his sexuality they are just gay.
OK I agree that bisexual and gay/lesbian people can be some of the best people in the world HOWEVER, the best people on earth have issues or problems that are the reasons why a vast majority of people maintain a difference of opinion. I don't think its a good environment to have children grow up in gay/lesbian or bisexual environments where people are actively SHOUTING OUT THEIR STANCE ON THIS SUBJECT... Personally, if Anne Paquin wants to tell the world she enjoys the vaginal juice that flows into her mouth when she has her tongue in another woman FINE but don't dump it on me and don't incriminate my children with your messed up mind...
The reason it is acceptable for women to experiment, is that men fantasize about being with 2 women, or watching 2 women having sex. So society has decided it is erotic for 2 women to be together.
WHO IS SHE AND WHO THE F CARES!!!!! OHHH YEAH ATTENTION!!!!!!

you really do not know? She plays the main character in TRUE BLOOD, she is Rogue from the X Men SEries, and she got an oscar for best supporting actress when seh was 11 years old. The last thing she is desperate for is attention.
As for Anna, good for her, she has a right to speak about her desires, adn there is ntohign worng with being bi.
Look in the mirror at the one who really wants attention. You have to do the ultimate email cliche of putting all your responses in caps followed by a zillion exclamations because you oh so badly want the world to "look at me, look at me"
I'm just laughing.
Wow;
Good thing your name is a palindrome.
Dyslexia really has you by the ssa.
Getting attention is right!
Nobody will remember who she is tomorrow.
One of the youngest actors to be nominated for an Academy Award... "The Piano" with Holly Hunter... Brilliant performance from such a young person.
She's a great actress and on one of the best shows on Television, True Blood. Jerk. You probably watch Twilight and think that's good storytelling about vampires. Why do you even ask that stupid question when knowone wants to answer it?
You probably dropped out of school in the 3rd grade and work at your local service station pumping gas for a living.
How else should she think. Being with Vampires all the time. They are a perfect example of "Bi" life style ( or unlife style??)
think about it....Vampires are pictured as very seductive creatures....remember Lestat??
do not much care of her personal life....but I find her very seductive in her role, and enjoy her performance.

Jim, you do understand that vampires are not real and that she is an actress playing a character, right? She doesn't hang around with vampires. She works with other people who are actors portraying vampires. Please tell me that you are not this brain dead!
OMG SMF5381, I think it might be you who's a little brain dead. Ever hear of SARCASM?? Or, I don't know, a joke?? Unless of course you're just running with the gag? Hopefully? I don't know about you but I'd be any type of sexual with those hot TB vampuhs! I wanna do bad things, indeed.
I like Paquin's acting, what little I've seen, but why does she think anyone cares? More to the point, does anyone believe she made this statement for any reason other than to get attention?

totally agree with you - she did it for attention. NOT that there is anything wrong with being bisexual, asexual, hetero, homo, etc. I just think it sucks when someone announces it to get attention.
