Amber Heard talks coming out

Amber Heard has spoken about why she came out as a lesbian.

The actress confirmed her sexuality at last year’s Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation 25th anniversary celebration.

“I’ve always been out. Way before that event, there were pictures of me walking to press events holding my girlfriend’s hand,” she said.

“I talked about my relationship because there’s a difference between being a private person and being part of the problem. I knew that I had a responsibility to young people, who right now are without many role models, to kind of step out of my comfort zone and acknowledge that I have a girlfriend without being ambiguous about it.

“At the end of the day, if you’re hiding something, then you are inadvertently saying it’s wrong, and I don’t feel like it’s wrong.”
