April 3, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): New Zealand actress Anna Paquin has announced that she is bisexual, while shooting a PSA for the Give a Damn movement in favor of egalitarianism. The video has demonstrated Paquin articulating that she is a bisexual and that she gives a damn since one hatred-related crime is perpetrated roughly every hour of every day in this nation.

Paquin, who is the second-youngest victor of the Academy Award for her character in the film The Piano in 1994, later received fame for her roles in She’s all That, Almost Famous and the X-Men franchise. She procured critical praise for her character as Sookie Stackhouse in the HBO series True Blood.

Nobody was conscious that she will proclaim her sexual direction at the shoot.

The web-based Give a Damn crusade has zoomed in on the development of homosexuals, bisexuals and on the issue of transgender egalitarianism. It has procured so much traffic after Paquin’s announcement that the website stopped functioning. The overseers of the website have articulated that they were touched by the mammoth traffic that has contributed supplementary servers.

Paquin is engaged to her True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, with whom she has been in a romantic alliance since 2007. She resides at her various dwellings in Venice, Los Angeles and California.
