True Blood star: We should talk about bisexual prejudice

True Blood actress Anna Paquin has called for more discussion on prejudice against bisexuals.

Paquin plays Sookie Stackhouse in  smash-hit HBO drama and is married to co-star Stephen Moyer, who plays vampire Bill in the series. The actress revealed last year that she was bisexual and has now called for discussion on prejudice bisexuals face.

“Frankly no one had ever asked me about being bisexual before.  There is a lot of prejudice against us but the more people talk about it, the less of a deal it will be. Who people choose to sleep with or spend their lives with shouldn’t matter, not that anyone particularly cares who I’m attracted to.” – Anna Paquin speaking to W Magazine

True Blood features a number of LGBT characters such as Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and Jesus Velasquez (Kevin Alejandro). It has also been hinted that most vampires, in the series, are bisexual to some extent with Pam (Kristin Bauer) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) both having bisexual liaisons at some point.
