Anna Paquin, star of 'True Blood,' wants to make bisexuality 'boring'

Thu. July 17, 2014

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."
