Now perhaps the world’s media can start treating this relationship for what it is: a relationship.
Twilight and Still Alice actor Kristen Stewart is dating a woman.
What’s the big deal? Apparently a lot if the world’s media are anything to go by.
The 25-year-old has been dating her girlfriend (who is also her former personal assistant) for months now, but mainstream media tended to try and cover this up by labelling the couple as friends.
Kristen’s mum has now confirmed the relationship between her daughter and Alicia Cargile.

And you know what? Good on her. Because now Stewart and Cargile can actually be seen for what they are – a couple.
“I feel like people need to be free to love whoever they want,” she told The Sunday Mirror.
“I accept my daughter loves women and men. It’s OK to be who you are in my world. We all choose our friends so we should be free to choose our lovers.”
Jules said she has met Alicia and the couple are very happy, apparently.
“I’ve met Kristen’s new girlfriend, I like her,” she said.
“What’s not to accept? She’s a lovely girl… She’s happy. She’s my daughter, I’m just her mum so she knows I would accept her choices.”
And the best part about it is that the world’s media is finally catching up and calling this relationship what it is: a relationship.

When you're in a relationship with someone that is confused or just lying about their preferences it tears families apart. I speak from experience. I would never had married my EX who I found out was sleeping with a host of men and women. Time to talk of the devastating effect on the loved ones lied to. Not that I am saying Kristen has done that. She is clearly happy. Just something for people to ponder.
You make a very good point in this current environment. No one is ever allowed to criticize people over their sexuality and neither should they, except when they drag other people unwillingly into it. The whole Caitlyn Jenner saga is the most obvious here. She chose to marry 3 times and have multiple children, whilst knowing that deep down she was battling with gender identity. Caitlyn knew from 10 years of age!!!!Now I do not believe that a person has the right to go into marriage knowing that it may not last the distance unless their partner is also aware of the issues and has a right to accept them or not. The children had zero say in any of this!
My 21 year old son is gay and knows people who are in "cover" relationships. Some of these couples are aware of their partners sexuality, but others are not. My son and his male partner don't believe this is the right way to live your life because it just makes the path that much harder for those following.
It was rumoured even during the whole making of the Twilight movies that Kristen was gay. It was also rumoured that the whole Kristen/Robert relationship was a showmance designed to get maximum Twilight dollars. Interesting that as soon as the last movie made the box office, Robert and Kristen broke up. It is also interesting that their entire "romance" was kept so secretive and yet their subsequent romances are out in the open.
I don't care what your sexuality is. I have posted on numerous occasions about my husband's brother being gay and his uncle being transgender. My son is gay. I do object to people lying about it or keeping it a secret from their partner.
But what you're both talking about is deceit and cheating. Those things ARE awful and DO tear things apart. They have nothing to do with being gay or bi or transgender intrinsically.
Yes, society has pressured people into being straight and matching their gender to their sex which might motivate duplicity - but I would imagine that's a pretty small percentage of everyone cheating or lying!
I don't really understand why her relationship/sexuality needs to be "confirmed" to anyone. She was in a very public relationship previously, followed by a very public break-up, maybe she just wants some privacy this time around. It's really nobodies business.
I think it's important particularly for gay celebrities to own their sexuality, because they are role models in their communities and Lord knows, this needs to be normalised.
I don't disagree with you on that point. But maybe she should just be free to talk about it if and when she feels like it.
I agree. Unless Kristen herself has announced this why should the media "out" her.
Perhaps it needs to be normalised but everyone should have the right to privacy.
I'm straight but I personally have had some boyfriends who I told no one about for a variety of reasons, such as I knew it wasn't particularly serious or I didn't want to answer lots of questions about where our relationship was going when I wasn't even sure myself.
Imagine what it must be like to be a celebrity, you go on one date not sure if you even like the person and the whole world makes it into a big deal.
This couple might be a passing fling, or madly in love or madly in lust or have some unconventional relationship where they share a bed but only give each other foot rubs, who knows! But once they confirm tgey are in a relationship there will be a million questions about whether they are going to have a gay marriage or adopt children together or whatever.
