Evan Rachel Wood did not think twice admitting she started feeling same-sex attraction since she was 12 while receiving her Human Rights Campaign Visibility award during an LGBT gala dinner in North Carolina last Feb. 4. Wood revealed the anti-gay comments coming from other people led her to bury her attraction towards the same sex.
Wood first revealed her bisexuality through Twitter in 2012 stating that Miley has always given her "gay vibes." She had past relationships with Jamie Bell, to whom she was married for two years, and is now engaged to her bandmate Zach Villa, according to Hollywood Reporter.
I myself am bisexual and have always "joked" about miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation.

Despite her relationships with the opposite sex, the 29-year old actress revealed she first felt attraction towards the same sex when she was 12. It has since continued until now and the SAG nominee shared she never felt the feeling was strange, or that it was something to be afraid of.
The "True Blood" alum said she thought women are beautiful but also realized that men, too, are beautiful. She then revealed these realizations has caused inconsistencies in her feelings.
The "Westworld" star even recorded a video she thought could help people who are still confused with themselves and are experiencing an identity crisis. She described the clip as her journey of self-realization from abusive relationships to finally coming out of the closet.
When Wood went to the Screen Actors Guild awards last Jan. 30, many were baffled why the actress was wearing a suit during the event. When asked for the reason behind her outfit, Wood said she had been wanting to do it for quite some time already and that she promised herself she would always wear a suit when attending to every award show this year, ABC News reported.
The 29-year old actress currently stars as Dolores in the HBO sci-fi series "Westworld" where she plays as the daughter of a rancher who eventually gained consciousness towards the end of the first season. Wood's character is one of the main hosts fans should watch out in season two.
