A good example would be Kristen Stewart, who only recently began openly dating women after years of hushed whispers questioning her true sexual orientation while 'dating' Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Everything from what they wear, to who they know, to what they own, and even who they prefer to go to bed with affects how they're perceived.Īs a result, many famous people are forced to hide the intimate truth about themselves, and will even go so far as to arrange fake heterosexual relationships with other willing celebs to help maintain the charade.
For a public figure, it's very important that their image be crafted in such a way to appeal to a key demographic. However, when you're in the public eye, it can pose to be a bit of a problem for your image. Many believe that sexual orientation shouldn't be approached in such a black and white manner, insisting that most people, both men and women, lie all over the spectrum, and there really isn't anything wrong with this.
But the modern day public practically demands that they be well informed on the rich and famous' sexual practices so inform you we shall. Personal matters such as who you like to go to bed with really shouldn't be anyone's business but your own. If you think about it, it's kind of awkward that it's socially acceptable for a person's sexual preference to be up for debate.
