Kristen Stewart Says It’s Crazy That People Still Believe The LGBT Community Should Be Denied The Right To Love.

In a new interview with the Daily Beast, Kristen Stewart has spoke about Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who was jailed for contempt of court after ignoring orders to let same-sex couples marry.

She said of Davis:

Oh my god… did you see her come out of jail? Honestly, it makes me so deeply uncomfortable. I feel really bad for her.

Anyone who’s so closed off to things that are so apparent? Imagine what else she’s missing out on in life.

I’m not making any grand statements about her personally, but if something so glaringly obvious… it’s like, ‘Oh, buddy, that must suck’.

That fear of the unknown cripples people, breeds hate, and it’s just very sad.”

This summer, the actress briefly opened up about her sexuality with Alicia Cargile, referencing tabloid stories by saying: “Google me, I’m not hiding.”

Stewart also said it is “crazy” that people still believe that the LGBT community should be denied the right to love.

She said:

Abso-f**king-lutely, it is crazy. It’s weird because if you’re overtly emotional about anything, people discredit what thought you might be contributing, because anything overtly emotional can be viewed as a weakness.

It’s interesting what you’re saying about how now we’re trying to suppress emotions or irregularities with drugs and deem people controllable by meds, because I think we’re more in tune and more honest with our emotions now than we have ever been.

You think about your grandparents or their grandparents, and you think about the patriarch of the family never showing emotion—with women, too.

As we’ve gotten past that, the meds have upped. It’s bizarre. The two things don’t really go together.”

In an interview with Nylon, Kristen Stewart has opened up about her sexuality.

She said:

Google me, I’m not hiding. If you feel like you really want to define yourself, and you have the ability to articulate those parameters and that in itself defines you, then do it. But I am an actress, man. I live in the f**king ambiguity of this life and I love it.”

However, Twilight actress, who was supposedly “outed” by her mum Jules in June, says that while she isn’t hiding, this is not a “coming out”.

She continued

I don’t feel like it would be true for me to be like, ‘I’m coming out!’ No, I do a job. Until I decide that I’m starting a foundation or that I have some perspective or opinion that other people should be receiving… I don’t. I’m just a kid making movies.”

In the interview, Stewart also noted Miley Cyrus’ recent announcement about her gender fluidity, adding:

I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don’t think it’s necessary to figure out if you’re gay or straight. It’s like, just do your thing.”

She added:

I’ve worked really hard at feeling free and open while not selling it, or helping someone else sell it. I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don’t think it’s necessary to figure out if you’re gay or straight. It’s like, just do your thing.”

Tabloid rumours have been circulating about Stewart for some time, with many printing invasive long-lens photo of her with rumoured girlfriends.

Stewart also discusses what she feels is the public’s perception of her.

It’s like I’m involved in a weekly comic book,” she says. “I have this assigned personality … which I helped create, I suppose. People stand to make a lot of money on people like me – it’s this booming industry, so why would you go and change the character that people are paying for?”

Perfect Parody | Kristen Stewart Puts Jesse Eisenberg On the Spot in Ultra Awkward Interview (Video)

With so many awkward interviews happening, Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart wanted to make sure they didn’t miss out on all of the uncomfortable fun. So they decided to stage their own.

Ahead of the release of American Ultra, Eisenberg and Stewart filmed an awkward interview for Funny or Die in which the two stars asked each other questions.

Stewart says the studio thought “it would be fun” for the two actors to interview each other, thus commencing an extremely awkward exchange.

Eisenberg ask Stewart easy questions like…

How did you bulk up for this role? What are your favourite sports teams?”

However, the questions Eisenberg are asked are much different.

Are you seeing anyone? Are you pregnant? What about your boobs? Do they ever slip out accidentally? And is that ever funny or awkward? Or do you do that on purpose to get attention? Do you have a favourite boob?”

After receiving questions about fashion designers, dating, pregnancy and boobs, Eisenberg realises how much easier he has it during interviews, when he’s usually just asked if he used to be the class clown.

I’m not uncomfortable doing interviews. I just feel like a lot of the questions you’re asking me feel like they’re not about the movie.”

Eisenberg concludes the interview by deadpanning,

Now I know what it’s like to be a woman.”
