30 Stars You Might Not Know Are Bisexual
Oct 19, 2013, 07:43 AM EDT | Updated Feb 2, 2016
Anna Paquin is adamantly open about her bisexuality. The actress told "Zooey" magazine in a 2009 interview, "For me, it’s not really an issue because I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing. It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision."
After telling The Advocate in 1999 that she was bisexual, Mullally clarified her statements in an interview with Queerty, telling the blog: "I said that I thought that everybody is innately bisexual. I think there are different levels of awareness attached to that, so I may believe that everybody is innately bisexual, but somebody who is very homophobic may not see that quality in themselves in any way, shape or form. That’s on a very philosophical or even metaphysical level, you know what I mean? It’s not something that I think people are ready for yet. I think if you ask the average guy on the street if he was innately bisexual, he’d be like, ‘What the fuck are you talking about?’ and then he’d punch you in the face. So, we’re not quite there."
The rapper has been openly bisexual since the early days of her career: "I mean, I'm bisexual, so it makes sense. But I don't want to be that girl who says all gays necessarily hang out together, of course! I have people say to me, 'Oh wow, my friend is gay, too,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, so?'"
Many people mistakenly assume that Andy Dick identifies as gay. However, he told The Washington Post in a 2006 interview that, "just because I've been with guys, and I'm bi, doesn't mean I'm gay."
Though David Bowie has historically played coy surrounding his sexuality, he clarified the subject in a 1976 interview with "Playboy." "It's true -- I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me."
The always-polarizing Snooki sat down with The Huffington Post in February 2012 and sought to clarify her sexual preference. "I would consider myself bi. I've done stuff with girls before. But I would never be with a girl because I like... penis. But I've experimented."
Amber Heard has been openly bisexual for quite some time, and discussed this aspect of her identity in "Elle." The model and actress told reporters: "[I] didn't want to look like I was hiding anything."
Angelina Jolie has been open about her sexuality for quite some time, having had numerous encounters and relationships with women. She reportedly told OK Magazine that , "I have loved women in the past and slept with them. I think if you love and want to pleasure a woman, particularly if you are a woman yourself, then certainly you know how to do things a certain way."
Evan Rachel Wood came out on Twitter in 2012: “I myself am bisexual and have always ‘joked’ about Miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation.”
The author of Push, the book that inspired the critically acclaimed film "Precious," describes herself as bisexual.
Drew Barrymore originally came out in an interview in Contact Magazine in 2003 , saying, "Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual... I love a woman's body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else."
This former "American Idol" and "The Voice" contestant came out in 2012, telling her fans that she had been in a relationship with a woman for the past year and had dated men and women.

A: The funny thing is that I was very open and honest about that from the very beginning, and everyone was acting like it was some new trend. Go back four or five years, people, and you’ll see the same answer."
In his book, Who I Am: A Memoir by Pete Townshend , this musician confirmed that he is "probably bisexual" and cited his attraction to Mick Jagger, calling him "the only man I've ever seriously wanted to fuck."
Tila Tequila is not one to shy away from anything. The former Myspace celebrity did several reality shows centered around identifying as bisexual, beginning with "A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila." She was also the girlfriend of Casey Johnson, the Johnson & Johnson heiress, who passed away in 2010 .
Amber Rose has long been perceived to be openly bisexual without actually addressing the way she identifies. In an interview with Complex magazine, the model sought to clarify the rumors : "They label me a bisexual freak stripper that fucks Kanye on a daily basis. To answer that: I’m extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man. I’m not into bestiality, but as far as humans go, I definitely find beauty in everybody, whether they’re heavy-set, super-skinny, if they’re white, black, Indian, Asian, Spanish. I can see beauty in anybody. I’m not into threesomes or orgies and shit like that. If I see a women and I think she’s beautiful and I like her, and she likes me back we can definitely try to be in a relationship together."
Currently married to wife Christine Marinoni , Nixon confirmed in a January 2012 interview with The Daily Beast that she is bisexual.

The first lady to ever come out in "Lady's Home Journal" as bisexual, "Biggest Loser" coach and personal trainer Jillian Michaels told the magazine in 2010 : “Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome. If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love… it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”
Former "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak was in public relationships with both the mysterious "Big Poppa" and DJ Tracy Young before marrying Kroy Biermann. In a 2010 interview with Life & Style, interviewers posed the following question for the reality queen : "Q: Do you feel you're giving a voice to other bisexual parents? A: I'm among the millions of parents who have been in a gay or lesbian relationship. It hasn't been an easy road lately, but I feel there are no mistakes in my life. Everything happens for a reason. To have the opportunity to speak for myself and to have people understand what I'm going through is really special. I myself was confused and scared at first. Being able to speak from my heart and get this all out, it's a huge relief for me."
Lady Gaga has been open for quite some time about her bisexuality, initially coming out in a 2010 interview with Barbara Walters.

As we continue to recognize and celebrate the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement throughout the course of LGBT History Month , we wanted to shine a light on an identity that often does not receive the same attention or visibility as other members of the queer community: bisexuality.
Bisexual people are routinely invisible or invalidated -- within both the straight and queer communities. Bisexual identity tends to be branded as greedy or illegitimate or it's claimed that those who identify this way are merely in flux before settling at one end of the hetero/homo binary.
In an effort to counter the cultural push of bisexual identity to the outer fringes of our movement, here is a slideshow of 30 celebrities and icons who you may or may not know identify as bisexual.
In a 2011 Esquire interview, Megan Fox confirmed her bisexuality, stating, "I think people are born bisexual and then make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite: I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."
The Green Day front man opened up about his sexuality in a 1995 interview with The Advocate : "I think I've always been bisexual. I mean, it's something that I've always been interested in. I think everybody kind of fantasizes about the same sex. I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of 'Oh, I can't.' They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing."
Comedian Margaret Cho has long been open about her sexuality. In August 2013, Cho discussed the semantics surrounding her open marriage to artist Al Ridenour, saying that she's "technically not able to stay with one person sexually because I’m bisexual,” and joking that she just “can’t stop up that hole.” She also identifies as queer, and opened up about her sexuality in an interview with HuffPost Gay Voices Editor-At-Large Michelangelo Signorile.
Twice-married record executive and music mogul Clive Davis came out as bisexual in his 2013 memoir, The Soundtrack Of My Life . Davis opened up about two long-term relationships he had with men after his divorce from his second wife.
Actress Bai Ling is openly bisexual -- and the identity category has often provided some humorous mix-ups involving her first name. According to GLAAD, she discussed it in-depth in a 2009 interview with Entertainment Weekly: "[A]t first when I was in the United States I didn't always have an interpreter in interviews and I didn't speak English so well. There was some confusion. My name is pronounced 'bi,' so when I was asked, 'Are you bi?' I said, 'Yes, I am Bai.' Do you like men? 'Of course!' Do you like women? 'Why yes!' And later I found out what that means and I said, 'Sure, I am bi!' But I think the interpreters and the reporters thought that I didn't know what I was saying because I was so open about it. They were uncomfortable about it. Such a thing is not important for me."
The "Portlandia" star and former guitarist and vocalist for Sleater-Kinney is often assumed to identify as gay. However, she told "Willamette Week" in 2012 that , "It’s weird, because no one’s actually ever asked me. People just always assume, like, you’re this or that. It’s like, ‘OK. I’m bisexual.’”
The star of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" revealed that she's bisexual in an "Inside Edition" interview in April 2015. Her daughter "Pumpkin" Lauryn Thompson also came out as bi at the same time.

If you’re a bisexual guy and you haven’t been with other guys yet, the idea might seem a little daunting, for a number of reasons. The reality doesn’t have to be so tricky, however, despite the worries you might have.
There’s not a lot of info out there for men about dating other guys - particularly when compared to the wealth of advice available for men about dating women.
Likewise, discussions around dating with family and friends are also likely to be heteronormative in nature, so it’s not uncommon for bi guys to feel a little lost, or as if it’s tricky to know where to begin.
Unless, that is, you have a network of fellow bi guys to talk to. There’s no time like the present to get started, and there are some valuable resources online, when you know where to look. There’s plenty of advice on the main Scarleteen website , Scarleteen boards , the Scarleteen subreddit , and there’s also the r/Bisexual subreddit too.
Of course, in many ways dating somebody will be the same regardless of their gender or yours, but that doesn’t mean you won’t feel slightly more apprehensive about dating another guy. Moving into dating guys can feel like a big step, but it’s not one to be scared of, as I’ll explain below.
The reality is that dating guys isn’t too different from dating people of other genders, and as you know, all men are different. Your experience with one guy could be entirely different to your experience with another, so it makes sense to view every guy you date as their own person outside of their identity as male.
It’s only natural that you might feel a little nervous. You might be wondering whether it’s best to be upfront about your bisexuality or not. While that’s your choice, honesty is probably the best policy - as long as you feel safe in coming out.
Dating a man for the first time might cause different feelings to arise in yourself too, or maybe you’re wondering how to mention it to other people in your life. According to Lewis Oakley, bisexual activist, “You don’t need to tell everyone everything if you don’t want to. If you would prefer to take time before sharing that you are dating a man, that’s okay. It doesn’t mean you’re going back into the closet. It just means that you want to be alone with your thoughts on the subject before other people share theirs.”
You’re allowed to take time to work out what you want, and who you want to be. If you’re not comfortable talking about things with people in your life, you don’t have to, and likewise if you don’t feel ready to actually date other guys right now, that’s cool too.
Unfortunately, biphobia, bias against bisexual people or the very idea of bisexuality, exists in both gay and straight communities, and it’s something that you might encounter when dating other guys. We can’t promise that you’ll never experience biphobia, but it’s important to remember that somebody else’s biphobia is their problem - it’s not a reflection on you.
Your sexuality is part of who you are - is it worth hiding it away for a partner who may or may not be accepting? If somebody is biased against bisexual people and you're a bisexual person, they’re not going to be right for you. Yes, dealing with rejection rooted in biphobia sucks. However, it’s ultimately their loss, and you’ll be better off without them.
Of course, rejection won’t always be down to biphobia. When dating, dealing with rejection is inevitable, and if you’re dating guys for the first time it’s going to be no different. If you get rejected, it’s best to handle it in much the same way as you would if you were rejected by a female partner.
Nobody likes being rejected, but if you can handle it with grace and civility that’s ideal. As obvious as it sounds, nobody is obliged to date you, no matter how much we might disagree with their reasoning. It’s one of those things that takes time to get over, but you will get there.
It’s the same with being inexperienced. Okay, so your inexperience might not be something you bring up on the very first date, but it’s worth communicating that to your partner, and being real about any worries or anxieties you might have.
If the guy you’re seeing has more experience than you, they can help you through it (though it should be said we're all newbies with a new partner), while if they’re also inexperienced - perhaps they’re bi and new to dating men too - you can figure it out together. Again, if somebody wants to date you, they must like you - therefore, they should be understanding. If not, you can dodge that bullet sooner rather than later and work on finding someone better.
If you’ve dated or been in relationships with women before, were there times where you were more inexperienced than them? Yes, it might feel awkward, but it’s almost definitely a bigger deal for you than it is for them.
It might sound trite, but you can consider your new experiences to be part of your journey. Lewis Oakley, bisexual activist, describes “cultural differences” between dating men and women: “Expectations might be different; the image of ‘happily ever after’ might look different,” he explains. “Trust that you’re on a learning curve, have fun, laugh, explore, think. The worst thing you could do is turn this into a negative experience.”
Have you got any gay or bi friends who might be willing to help? There’s no shame in asking others in your life for advice - if they have a little more experience than you in the ‘dating men’ department, they could really help.
Lewis adds: “One thing I would say is embrace your journey and accept that your ‘dating maturity’ with women might be different to when you dated a woman. If you have ten years of experience dating women and suddenly go to dating a man, it can feel as if you’re clueless and back to the beginning. But that’s okay.”
It might take you back to an earlier time in your life when you were inexperienced dating women, and in some ways it will be similar. However, you’ve got this prior experience, and as such you won’t be a complete beginner - it’ll just be something new.
Above all, remember that your identity is valid too. There’s no requirement that you need to date an equal number of each gender to identify as bi, or that you need to adhere to certain roles. If you’re bi, you’re bi, no matter how often you date men, or how experienced you might be. And, as Lewis says, “Do what makes you feel comfortable. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.”
