Actress Kristen Stewart recently claimed that Twilight, the movie that catapulted her to Hollywood stardom, is “a very gay movie.”
Stewart, who identifies as a queer woman and has dated famous men and women throughout her film career, made the assertion in a recent interview with Variety magazine.
The advocacy, which focused on her LGBTQ identity, was tied to a popular young adult fantasy series about vampires and werewolves. Stewart said she recently noticed that the film had strange overtones.

Kristen Stewart has been publicly coming out as queer in Hollywood since 2017.
Being an advocate for LGTBQ issues is also evident in Stewart's recent creative choices.

It works well. ”
Kristen said of the lesbian sex scenes included in the film, “They don't take off their clothes, but this will shock people.”
Elsewhere in the discussion, Stewart recalled flaunting his queer identity to then-President Donald Trump's face during his 2017 Saturday Night Live opening monologue. This also marked Stewart's first public outing.
On the show, Stewart referenced Trump's tweet in 2012 in which he warned his then-fiancée and Twilight co-star Robert Pattison not to take her back because of her affair. Speaking to a studio audience, she told President Trump: “Donald, if you didn't like me then, you probably don't like me now, because I'm the host of 'SNL.' You’re gay, dude.”
Commenting on the moment, she told Variety, “It was cool to frame it in an interesting context because you can sit down and say everything without having to do an interview.”
