The world is a big place. It’s inhabited by people from all over the world and they have a whole lot of stories to tell. Many of them are quite remarkable. One such person is Robert Pattinson. He’s a well-known English actor who was born and raised in the United Kingdom. Nowadays, he calls L.A. home. Since 2015, he’s been dating Taylor Lautner. Together, they have a son named Bosworth.
If you’ve been paying attention to celebrity news in the last few years, you may have heard of Robert Pattinson. He’s been in several high-profile films, such as the Harry Potter series, and he’s had roles in prestigious television shows, like The Blacklist. Let’s take a closer look at this multi-hyphenate’s queer side.
Bisexuality
If you’ve been following the news, you may have heard that Robert Pattinson is bi-sexual. In fact, he’s said to be one of the most famous and beloved bisexual men in history. In 2015, he came out in support of LGBT rights. In an interview with The Advocate, he stated, “I am naturally attracted to both men and women, but I have never hidden this aspect of my life. And I feel very lucky to have the ability to be able to express myself in such a comfortable way, as it makes talking about these matters so much easier.” He went on to say that when it comes to LGBT rights, “It’s about time that society accepted everyone for who they are.”
Open Relationships
In addition to his bi-sexuality, Robert Pattinson is also an open relationship enthusiast. In fact, he’s said to be in favor of having more than one lover at a time. In 2015, he came out in support of open relationships. In the same interview with The Advocate, he said, “I feel that everyone should be able to be the happiest they can be with whoever they want. It’s a shame that, in some countries, you can’t be who you want to be with.” He also added that he thinks that open relationships can enhance a relationship because “it forces you to be more honest with each other.”
Romantic Relationships
Romantic relationships have always been a part of Robert Pattinson’s life. In 2015, he was in a relationship with English actress and model Kate Winslet. However, that doesn’t mean that he stays loyal to one person. In fact, he’s said to be a bit of a romantic. In some of his interviews, he’s talked about how he likes to be spontaneous and change his mind often. This, in part, is why he enjoys the freedom of being single. He also spoke about how he sees himself as a champion of the “little people” and that he feels like he can relate to those who don’t have a powerful position in society.
Queerness
Not only is Robert Pattinson bi-sexual and in support of LGBT rights, but he’s also said to be a proud member of the LGBT+ community. He defines himself as a “modern queer”, which, in layman’s terms, means that he’s a homosexual man who is comfortable and proud of being part of the LGBT community.
It’s no secret that celebrities are some of the most followed people on the internet. They have a lot of people who admire and love them. However, there are also a lot of people who hate them for whatever reason. It’s important to point out that just because someone is famous doesn’t mean that they’re automatically going to end up on the bad side of the internet. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of research to figure out who the real people behind the online personas are. The case of Robert Pattinson is quite an interesting one. Most people who know him or have seen him in movies or on TV would never guess that the charming man behind the mustache is, in fact, a gay man. He hasn’t always been this way, however. His entire career was spent portraying heterosexual roles. In fact, he said in an interview that he decided to become a full-time actor when he realized that he couldn’t find good roles for gay men.
Even though he’s happy being who he is, Robert Pattinson hasn’t always been comfortable with his sexuality. Back in 1995, he was in a serious relationship with an Italian model named Francesca Capolongo. They stayed together for two years before breaking up. Around that time, he had a one-night stand with a man named Alex Stone. He eventually came out to Stone and apologized for lying to him. In 2012, he was in a romantic relationship with a male model identified only by the pseudonym “Logan Barnes”. He would later go on to tell Interview that “it was a deeply romantic relationship that ended almost six years ago.”
There are so many celebrities out there who are queer. Some of them are even famous for being queer. Why is it that celebrities are so accepted and empowered when it comes to their sexuality, yet there are still so many people out there who hesitate to come out? That’s a question that a lot of people have been asking themselves in the last few years. It’s about time that the world began to see queer celebrities like Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner and began to understand that being different isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It can even be a good thing. As long as people aren’t hurting you, why should you care what they think? Being queer is not a crime. It’s simply a part of who you are.
