Amber Heard Gay: Actress Comes Out As Lesbian

Already an emerging Hollywood talent, actress Amber Heard came out of the closet at the GLAAD 25th anniversary celebration on Friday, proudly announcing that she is a lesbian.

The 'Zombieland' and 'Pineapple Express' star, who will soon appear as Jonny Depp's love interest in 'The Rum Diaries,' came out with her girlfriend, photographer Tasya van Ree, whom she has been dating since 2008.

Speaking to the gay rights-focused entertainment site AfterEllen.com, Heard said coming out was both a personal and moral triumph.

"I think when I became aware of my role in the media, I had to ask myself an important question 'Am I part of the problem?'" she told the the website. "And I think that when millions and millions of hard-working, tax paying Americans are denied their rights and denied their equality you have to ask yourself what are the factors that are an epidemic problem and that's what this is

5. I love how it lists her as a Zombieland "Star." She's in the movie for 5 minutes

6. Yes, but...(spoiler inside)
it would have been a vastly superior film if she had eaten that whiny kid while he was sleeping. That could have been the most important 5 minutes of the film right there.

Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone alone would have been a better cast. Jesse Eisenberg sucked all the awesome out of one of the coolest films of the year...and he killed Bill Murray. Asshole.
