Anna Paquin Is the New Bi Hero.

Apparently Anna Paquin received a little flack for her bisexuality from people claiming she just wanted attention. And so she responded:

“I’m not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about — and frankly, I don’t see why everyone doesn’t care about them,” she told Zap2it. “So when I was asked to participate in that PSA, it was just obvious. ‘Well, of course I will’.”

I understand that there are some women who would claim to be bi just to get a little media attention (Tila, Courtenay, I'm, looking at you.) But Anna Paquin? If she craved any less attention she'd be non-existent. She never does the whole over-sexed-for-the-cameras thing. I think she's pretty much exactly what the bi community needs for a spokesperson - well spoken, open without being gross and just in her career for her career. You know, a person. A normal person even.
