Kristen Stewart on Twilight: “It’s Such a Gay Movie”
Kristen Stewart says Twilight is ‘such a gay movie’:
“I can only see it now […] It’s such a gay movie… I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.” pic.twitter.com/k7FrOzsuwU

In a new interview with Variety, Kristen Stewart reveals some of her thoughts on the Twilight films, her new film “ Love Lies Bleeding,” and becoming a queer icon after coming out.
“I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating. It’s such a gay movie. I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor [Lautner] and Rob and me, and it’s so hidden and not OK. I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.”
I ask Stewart if she understands how much her decision to come out has also made her a role model for LGBTQ people. She cackles. “Oh, you have no idea,” she says. “Every single woman that I’ve ever met in my whole life who ever kissed a girl in college is like, ‘Yeah, I mean, me too.’ I’m constantly joking with my girlfriend. I’ll be sitting there and be like” - she whispers - “‘She’s gay too. Everyone’s gay.’”
Love Lies Bleeding releases March 8
