Playboy Club's Amber Heard: Has Girlfriend, but Don't Call Her a Lesbian

[Teh One Who Knocks]

by Marc Malkin - E! Online




You may have heard a few months ago that the gorgeous Amber Heard came out of the closet as a lesbian.

While it's true the star of NBC's upcoming The Playboy Club has been in a relationship with a woman for three years, she'd like to clear something up.

Take it away, Ms. Heard...

"First of all, to say I came out implies that I was once in," she says in the new issue of Playboy magazine. "Let me be straight about that—no pun intended [laughs]—I never came out from anywhere."

"It didn't really affect anything in my career," she says. "I don't think the producers and directors I've worked with care one way or another...I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I've had successful relationships with men, and now I'm in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. I don't want to be put into a category, as in 'I'm this' or 'I'm that.'"

Heard has been dating artist Tasya van Ree since 2008. In December, she gushed about van Ree to AfterEllen.com. "She's so beautiful," she said. "I mean, you'd have to be crazy not to want to go out with her!"

However, it doesn't sound like they'll be getting hitched anytime soon. When asked about gay marriage, she told Playboy, "It's an important issue and I'm fighting for the right to get married—for other people."

I don't want to hear this...

It was like when Rock Hudson came out.It somehow ruined every one of his hetero roles
I consider myself a pretty liberal guy, yet knowing she likes girls makes every future onscreen romance with a male, somehow tainted?




I'll never be able to articulate the feeling without offending various organizations around the world so I'll stop here

It's ok, Hal. I hate the fact that she's a rug-munching dyke, too.

Reminds me of Cartman and company on South Park trying to figure out their substitute teacher

Oh gawd


can you imagine the leaked personal pics from HER phone?????

I figured you guys would be thinking this was great - I bet she would be open to many 3-somes

She's not a lipstick lesbian, she's the real deal.

No sausage on that pizza

Maybe back in my teens and twenties. I find that women are insulting about it these days: "I'm dating this woman because I can't find a man capable of fulfilling my needs".

What crushed me was hearing about how Rock kept an on-set young punk for quickies in the trailer

McMillan and Wife indeed

I don't know about that

"I don't want to be labeled as one thing or another. In the past I've had successful relationships with men, and now I'm in this successful relationship with a woman. When it comes to love I am totally open. I don't want to be put into a category, as in 'I'm this' or 'I'm that.'"

Yet when she first came out, she was all, "I'm a lesbian!"

[DemonGeminiX]

Personally, I think all of this bullshit is about publicity and that's what pisses me off about her. She's turned into one of those controversial attention whores. It's like it wasn't enough for her to be pretty and actually get work without having to be like that. It's classless and undignified. That's pretty much how I feel about all of Hollywood these days.

I was making a joke and have no real idea what her inclinations are...I do know more than one card carrying lesbian and for those girls at least..men never enter the equation.
Being bisexual is a bit different than a true gay person, wouldn't you agree?
