Going from mentioning how Stewart “grew to fully embrace his homosexuality in his public life” to the good fortune of the 2000s, Variety said: “He has even begun to acknowledge that the most ostensibly heterosexual thing he has done, ‘Twilight,’ the “It has its own strange glow. “
The actress said, “I can only watch her now. I don’t think it necessarily started that way, but I also think the fact that I was there spread. It’s a very gay movie. “
Stewart added how obvious this perception was to her: “I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor [Lautner], Rob [Pattinson] and me, and it’s so hidden that it’s not right. I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It is oppression, almost less than what will destroy you. “
“That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love,” she added.
The rest of the interview focused on her being a “role cast for LGBTQ people” and that she had, in fact, embraced that network in recent years.

Kristen Stewart has been outspoken gay in Hollywood since 2017.
Being an advocate for LGBTQ issues has also manifested itself in Stewart’s recent artistic choices. The interview also focused on the actress’ upcoming film, “Love Lies Bleeding,” a film about a “bodybuilder with the body of a killer, who catches the eye of Lou (Stewart), a sweet, youthful lesbian who runs the gym where Jackie works.
“They don’t take their clothes off, but it’s going to surprise people,” Kristen said of the lesbian sex scenes included in the film.
Elsewhere in the discussion, Stewart recalled how she once showed her queer identity in front of then-President Donald Trump in her opening monologue on “Saturday Night Live” in 2017. It was also the time when Stewart came forward publicly for the first time.
At the show, Stewart referenced Trump’s 2012 tweets in which he warned her then-fiancée and “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattison not to take her back because she cheated on him. In front of the studio audience, she told Trump, “Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like me now, because I’m hosting ‘SNL’ — and I’m, like, so gay, dude.”
Commenting on the moment to Variety, he said, “It’s great to put it in a fun context because you can say anything without having to sit down and do an interview. “
