Evan Rachel Wood Discusses Her Bisexuality in Moving Tweets
Evan Rachel Wood is opening up about what it means to be bisexual and her own struggles with her sexuality.
The 28-year-old actress, who was previously married to actor Jamie Bell and recently linked to actress Katherine Moennig, has been open for many years about her sexuality.
“I have battled with myself most of my life because I wasn’t gay or straight enough. I used to think I would never be happy. #biphobia,” Evan tweeted. “I had to go through the same panic and shame and depression a lot of people in the LGBT community go through but when I came out a new found shame took over. Bi-shame. Feeling like people are judging you all over again but for different reasons.”

I can assure you that whatever "straight privilege" I sometimes get accused of having, gets erased by #biphobia.

Remember, bisexuality doesn't mean halfway between gay or straight.
It is its own identity.

I think in some cases people don't want to be labeled because they are ashamed to be bisexual.
And this needs to stop.

– A weight was lifted but not completely. I still feel like we have to constantly prove ourselves & our worthiness within the community.

Point being, its ok. We do exist.
Don't let anyone make you feel unworthy.
No one knows your journey but you.
