Amber Heard has made a name for herself by playing the object of male affection in a long list of Hollywood hits, but in real life, the actress is happily coupled with with girlfriend Tasya van Ree.According to RadarOnline, Heard, who stars in the upcoming film 'The Rum Diary' opposite Johnny Depp, has been dating van Ree since 2008, but first admitted to the relationship publicly on Friday night at GLAAD's 25th Anniversary party.
The 'Pineapple Express' star spoke to AfterEllen.com about her choice to go public with her sexuality, telling the site, "This is the forefront of human rights... [I]f we're too scared to come out and say who we are, we'll never get anywhere."
Heard told AfterEllen that her choice to come out with van Ree at the GLAAD event was a decision to which she had given some thought. "I think GLAAD is one of the many reasons that I, as a 24-year-old, can come out," she said. "I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience."

Wow, JUST in time for the Prop 8 hearing too. Hmm, sounds to me like the big gay agenda yet again being shoved down OUR throats. Whatever. You nasty people will learn one day that WE don't HAVE to take what YOU want and live with it. You already HAVE "marriage". So, get over this big to do abotu the friggen WORD marriage. You CAN get "married", just not use that word. SO STFU, grow up, and be NORMAL members of society instead of all this bs drama.

Wow. The gay-hating Christian bigots are at it again. I'm certainly not going to take any moral advice from someone stupid enough to believe in virgin births, people getting up from the dead, talking snakes, and burning bushes. I'm happy for these two.

What a screwed up world we live in, when this is considered normal. But at least these nuts have found each other and they are not procreating anymore stupidity.And save your low ratings for someone who cares about your pathetic lot, because I could care less what you think of me or my post. And for the record, I'm not afraid of homosexuals, nor do I hate them so save your name calling, I just don't like what you all are doing to our country. No where in history has homosexuality ever been good for a society.

i have no issue with gays exept one. why is it so important to announce that one is "gay". heterosexuals don't announce that they're not "gay" so what's the point. no one cares whom you kiss or do the deed with and pretty much, that's all that separates straights from gays. i don't need to know the sexual orientation and desires of anyone. keep it to yourself.

the Haters are ALWAYS closeted....and wonder and wonder about why and how two fabulous women would have a great , fulfilling, sensual, loving life with each other..For those who opine that this will be a career-wrecker.....on the contrary...The arts have always been populated by creative folks..creative folks don't want to be ordinary, live in a mortgaged box house that looks just like the house next door, cooking for an ill-mannered burping husband...all the snug connubial joys, the ever constanst smashing of toys, while hubby is out with the boys.

I love the haters' imagery of things being stuffed down their throats, poor delicate little flowers.
