Anna Paquin, star of the HBO supernatural drama True Blood, says she wants to make bisexuality "boring."
The 31-year-old Paquin first publicly came out bisexual in a 2010 PSA for the WeGiveADamn campaign.
"I'm Anna Paquin. I'm bisexual," she said in the PSA. "And I give a damn."
Paquin married her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer on August 21, 2010. Together they are raising four children, including fraternal twins Charlie and Poppy born in September 2012.
A tweet she sent last month reasserting her bisexuality and in support of marriage equality attracted headlines.
"Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother," she messaged her more than 83,000 followers. "Marriage is about love not gender."
During an appearance on HuffPost Live, Paquin was asked: "Why is it that you wanted to come out with this openly?"
"It was Pride Week or I guess pride Month in LA," Paquin responded. "There are a lot of people supporting these assorted campaigns and it's something I feel really strongly about.The reason I feel like it's important to talk about this stuff is that the more normal and frankly mundane and boring [bisexuality] becomes, I think the better it is going to be for everyone who is part of our community."
