there are a lot of posts going around here with a lot of notes about what’s going on with amber heard and johnny depp and i definitely support the message about how important it is that a young, less established actress is risking a lot to get out of an abusive situation with an established and loved hollywood actor. 

HOWEVER, what’s annoying to me is the fact that none of these posts are talking about the fact that she’s not only a young actress but also a bisexual actress, and the abuse she faced from depp was 100% linked to the fact she’s bisexual. he tried to control who her friends were and tried to cut her off from her “lesbian friends” which imo is pretty clearly because either a) he was afraid she’d cheat because lol bisexuals always cheat or b) he wanted to cut her off from people who are similar to her (read: lgbt identifying), and both reasons are abusive as fuck and happened because of her sexuality. not to mention the fact that the media is gonna demonize her for being bi and act as if her sexuality inherently discredits her…

her sexuality is extremely important to this and it feels like a major erasure to ignore that a lot of her abuse was likely due to her being bisexual and the way she gets treated by the media will be influenced by the fact that she’s an out bisexual woman.. don’t ignore that!!
