“I don’t feel like any of my past or future-when it comes to relationships that may have happened or not have happened-are of any concern to anybody. What matters to me is my relationship with Wilmer. We are in an amazing place. Rumors are rumors, and people are going to spread them. You can believe what you want, but no, I was not in a relationship with her.
By the way, love is fluid. Whether there’s been rumors with one specific person or not, that’s all that matters. Humans are humans, and when you connect with somebody on a spiritual level it doesn’t matter. I don’t want people to ever look at the past or rumors or anything and try to figure me out. There’s a lot of relationships that I’ve had where nobody has even guessed it. Not everybody knows everything about me. The only thing that matters to me is that people know who I am today. With Wilmer, I’m the happiest that I’ve ever been, so that’s all that matters to me.”

Gaspar Noé‘s new film, Love, has an intense and highly-sexual new trailer and, of course, there’s a threesome that includes two women.
Cosmo talks with Faking It star Katie Stevens. On being an informed ally:
When the show was first introduced and there were trailers and things, we didn’t want to give the twist away at the end of the pilot, that Amy falls in love with Karma, but we had to eventually because releasing something that says two girls fake being lesbians to be popular was highly offensive. So, now, me being the sole one who actually was the one faking being a lesbian, I feel a greater responsibility to know and be more well-informed about the LGBT community. And I feel like Rita [Volk, who plays Amy] and I, being that in our own personal lives we’re straight women, we feel more of a sense and a duty to do it in the correct way and to, when we’re in interviews, speak about it the right way so that we don’t offend anyone and so people do really know that we are allies to the LGBT community. And I feel so strongly and so protective of all of my LGBT fans that I have zero tolerance for anyone that has anything negative to say.
