Evan Rachel Woods Big Bisexual Moment
In a powerful speech, the actress Evan Rachel Wood talked about using the power of her celebrity to help bisexual people struggling with shame and depression.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Evan Rachel Wood is saving lives.
The 29-year-old Westworld star and increasingly outspoken bisexual advocate delivered a moving address at a Human Rights Campaign gala in North Carolina last weekend, where she was being honored with an HRC Visibility Award.
The speech has since spread widely online for good reason: Wood was powerfully honest about the bisexual community’s underreported struggles with shame, depression, fear, and suicide—and about how she can use her celebrity status to help fight those battles.
“I choose to use my voice because it would feel selfish to have acquired the platform to represent the underrepresented and to not use it,” she said near the end of her speech.
