Ides of March star Evan Rachel Wood came out as bisexual in an interview with Esquire last April, and since her ostensible coming out the media just can’t seem to grasp the concept that Evan claims she always has been and always will be bisexual.
Apparently the folks at GQ couldn’t wrap their heads around the idea of everlasting bisexuality despite Evan’s candid admissions about her identity in Esquire and more recently in Marie Claire. In an a new interview with GQ she’s asked if her bisexuality was just a one-girl thing, because, you know, all women who have a one-off with another chick go around shouting from the rooftops that they’re bi.
Despite the annoying nature of the GQ question Evan, who’s played lesbian on True Blood and in The Wrestler, answered it with aplomb.
"I've been that way since I can remember," Wood told the men’s mag. "I remember growing up and loving when I knew there was a girl like me who I looked up to. I figured I should return the favor. You don't have to be ashamed."
Just last month the Emmy-nominated actress for Mildred Pierce expounded on her bisexuality in an interview with Marie Claire answering the GQ question before they asked it.
"Yeah it’s a big part of who I am, and it always has been for as long as I can remember,” Evan told Marie Claire. "I can't say I'm one way or the other because I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman. I don't know how you label that, it's just how it is."
But we’ll give GQ the benefit of the doubt for the redundant question assuming the issue had already gone to print by the time Marie Claire hit the stands. Still, the question remains - how long is Evan going to have to justify her sex life and identity to the media? Isn’t enough that she’s out and proud and perhaps an inspiration for young women who may also be bi?
