Anna Paquin discussed her bisexuality in an Instagram post on May 18, writing, "I'm a #proudbisexual who is married to a wonderful human who happens to be a man." She included the caption, "If he doesn't have a problem with it why should anyone else?" The actor also took to Instagram Stories (via People) to share a comment that said, "I am getting tired of seeing 'bi' celebrities consistently advocate for it only to end up conventionally married to men with multiple children, living out the so-called white-picket-fence life." Paquin added, "Ah yes ... the 'you aren't queer enough' BS."
This isn't the first time Paquin has discussed her bisexuality. In 2010, she came out in the Give a Damn campaign, which featured celebrities pushing for equality. "I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual, and I give a damn," she said at the time. And in June 2014, she tweeted in support of gay marriage, writing, "Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother. Marriage is about love not gender."
The also actor got candid with Zooey magazine (via People) in 2012, saying, "If you're going to talk about some cause in a way that's meaningful, you should identify why it means something to you," she said. "For a bisexual, it's not about gender. That's not the deciding factor for who they're attracted to." Paquin has no problem calling out "bigots," and she'll keep dispelling myths about bisexuality as long as trolls comment on her posts.
