Kristen Stewart on Publicly Coming Out as Queer and Her Past 'Caginess' Dating Robert Pattinson and Others
Clea Duvall, the director of Stewart's upcoming filminterviewed her for the magazine and asked whether Stewart's own experiences drew her to the project. For context, asput it,"the film is about a woman named Harper, played by Mackenzie Davis, who has yet to come out to her family but brings her girlfriend, Abby, played by Stewart, home for Christmas."
Stewart responded,"Yeah. The first time I ever dated a girl, I was immediately being asked if I was a lesbian. And it's like, 'God, I'm 21 years old.' I felt like maybe there were things that have hurt people I've been with. Not because I felt ashamed of being openly gay but because I didn't like giving myself to the public, in a way. It felt like such thievery. This was a period of time when I was sort of cagey.
She also addressed whether she feels there's an expectation for her to be a spokesperson for the LGBTQA+ community. "I did more when I was younger, when I was being hounded about labeling myself," Stewart candidly admitted."I had no reticence about displaying who I was. I was going out every day knowing I'd be photographed while I was being affectionate with my girlfriend, but I didn't want to talk about it. I did feel an enormous pressure, but it wasn't put on me by the [LGBTQ+] community.
