Actress Evan Rachel Wood has always been vocal about her sexuality and elaborated on an interview about it several years ago. Here’s more:

Evan Rachel Wood is vocal about her sexuality. “I felt like now was the time to no longer be silent about it,” she told The Daily Beast in reference to her coming out as bisexual in 2011.

The 25-year-old actress, probably best known for her roles in “Thirteen” and “True Blood,” is one of the few openly bisexual celebrities — others include Anna Paquinand Megan Fox. She told The Daily Beast that she waited to come out publiclybecause she wanted it to be the “right time.” “I wanted to wait … to have enough years under my belt where people knew that it wasn’t a phase or anything and I wasn’t doing it for attention; this is a part of who I am, and I’m old enough to really know who I am by now,” she said.

It would have been nice if Wood had remembered that when she made some questionable comments last year toward Miley Cyrus when she got a very short haircut. But she apologized for that and its nice to see people making bisexuality more visible.

Evan Rachel Wood “Miley Is Leaning Towards Gay”

In this is a slow news day news, True Blood actress Evan Rachel Wood made an unfriendly anti-LGBT comment about Disney Star Miley Cyrus’s short new hair do. Evan felt it was necessary to comment after Miley made headlines of cutting off her golden tresses.

Evan stated “I called it! Miley Cyrus is leaning toward gay.” Yeah not cool Evan. You have “a traditionally male oriented” first name and if you’ve ever had jokes made of you because that then that should have been your first clue of why what you said was labeling and wrong. It also implies that you can switch out your sexuality like you can switch out a haircut and that is just not true.

* Here’s the haircut in question (cute. She’s rocking it and most importantly IT WILL GROW BACK)

Wood tried to explain herself (and failed miserably) after making such an asinine statement but really only made things worse. Evan wrote a mea culpa via twitter:

“Ok. To be clear. I believe you should be able to joke and have a sense of humor about everything. And i hate explaining, but just to be clear, i dont judge people on how they look. Nor do i associate a hair style with sexuality. I myself am bisexual and have always “joked” about miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation. So i “joked” when she cut her hair that it supported my case. But, i am not so close minded or into stereotypes or labeling. It was a joke. Period. could care less what gender she was attracted to. But dont hate me for supporting her in whatever She chooses. Its all fine by me. That is all.”

I’ve never known homophobia and labeling to be humorous. Maybe I’m not a funny person because I didn’t laugh at this one Evan. Having a sense of humor is great, it’s when you say ignorant things is when people get upset. And clearly the only reason you’re upset is because you got called out on it. Again I ask, What the hell does gay look like Evan? Does it look like your irrelevant career?
