Amandla Stenberg, the actress who played beloved character Rue in the first Hunger Games film, revealed that she is bisexual in a heartfelt video on Thursday, January 7.
The 17-year-old actress opened up about her sexuality while taking over Teen Vogue’s Snapchat account, telling fans about how difficult it has been to keep a part of herself hidden.
Quote:
“As someone who identifies as a black, bisexual woman, it’s a really, really hard thing to be silenced and it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourself into shapes that you just shouldn’t in,” she says in the video, which she also posted to her Tumblr.
Gurl, it's Hollywood. No one gives a **** if you're bisexual. Jaden and Willow are over there gender bending it up and it only makes them more success. Get off ya tumblr, audition for something, get stabbed and die in another film and make the whole world me included cry again.
remember when she posted that well thought out video about cultural appropriation and posted that message on instagram and everyone told her to shut up
She's lowkey starting to piss me off/fascinate me. The Capital can't silence her anymore. She needs to stay humble & remember her roots in district 11.
