"After she began dating women, Stewart said she received some surprising pushback from people she knew very well. "I've had conversations with people I've known, loved and trusted, and still do, who thought, 'Your career would go better if you didn't go outside holding your girlfriend's hand,'" she said. "I was like, 'So you want me to live a partial life?'""
"The star of course ignored the concerns, saying that she wanted to "make the world a more open and accepting place". "It was less about sharing the details of my relationship and more so acknowledging that there are people that don't get full access to being alive because they're hiding," she said. "I just can't do that.""
"Stewart, 35, famously came out as bisexual during her Saturday Night Live monologue in 2017, eventually coming out as a lesbian a year later. She had been dating women for several years after her public split from Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson. Since coming out, her career has certainly shown no signs of stopping, having won several awards for her work, including Love Lies Bleeding, The Chronology of Water, and Sacramento. She even got the chance to host Saturday Night Live again in 2019."
Kristen Stewart received advice from people close to her to keep her sexuality private to protect her career, but she rejected living a partial life. Publicly dating women followed her split from Robert Pattinson and included coming out as bisexual in 2017 and later as a lesbian. Stewart prioritized visibility to help others who hide their identities and to promote a more open, accepting world. Career momentum continued after coming out, with awards for recent films and ongoing projects including writing and co-producing the upcoming comedy The Wrong Girls.
