Kristen Stewart claims she and her girlfriend were told not to hold hands in public by someone in Hollywood.

Just saw a graphic the other day showing how the majority of the public are accepting of gay couples. Combine that with this supposedly coming from someone in Hollywood and I just don't buy the story.

Told by whom? A random friend? A producer? I mean, context matters.
It's not me, it's someone else.

She doesn't say, which makes it all the more unbelievable.

"I have fully been told, 'If you just like do yourself a favour, and don't go out holding your girlfriend's hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie,'" she says. "I don't want to work with people like that."
Possibly someone in the business but again, given how much marvel wants to make the MCU gay, I don’t think the person knows what xir is talking about.

Probably she doesn’t get parts bc she can’t act :x :P

This.

I was reminded of when Ellen's comedy was cancelled years ago. I watched it from the pilot through about halfway through the second season. Her character is funny. Her expressions and the way she reacts has a humor to it. She has a genuine warmth. The writing was not funny. Eventually her whimsical nature got tired in place of trying to carry the episode from week to week. Her character coming out as gay did not kill the show. Bad writing killed the show. I was actually interested again when I heard the character was coming out because I hoped it meant more interesting episodes.

I think Kristen Stewart might be gay in the same way that Anne Heche was gay.

I mean, it clearly didn't happen, but he wanted peeps to think it did.
