Amber Heard Comes Out Gay At GLAAD Event
Actress Amber Heard came out gay at an event to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)
in Los Angeles on Friday.
She walked the red carpet with her girlfriend, photographer Tasya van
Ree. The pair have been dating for two years.
The 24-year-old starred in the CW's Hidden Palms before moving on to
the big screen. She'll appear as Johnny Depp's love interest in the
upcoming film The Rum Diaries.
she doesn't want to be “part of the problem.”
“I think that when millions and millions of hard-working, tax paying
Americans are denied their rights and denied their equality you have
to ask yourself what are the factors that are an epidemic problem and
that’s what this is. Injustice can never be stood for. It always must
be fought against and I just was sick of it being a problem,” she said.
“I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I
can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn't sleep at night if I was a
part of that problem, if I was a part of the lies.”
“I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something
you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong. I don't feel like I'm wrong.
I don't feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who
they love or they were born how they were born,” she added.
