So Michelle Rodriguez, who dated Cara Delevingne last year has talked about labels and how great it is that Cara decided to speak honestly about her own experiences. 'You've got some people who, if they really did say what they do for a living, they'd lose their job. And that's the real world. The real world is that with the truth comes judgment,' the actress told E!. 'What you do behind closed doors should never affect your work. For her to come out, god bless, I think that's beautiful.'
She also added that a lot of her friends felt too much pressure to do the same: 'I have tons of friends who are in the closet, and you know what? Respect. Because you can't control how people are. You've got haters out there.'
Cara spoke to Vogue about how she didn't really accept her feelings for women until she was 20 years old: 'It took me a long time to accept the idea, until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognised that I had to accept it.'
Michelle - who has come out as bisexual - is taking things six months at a time, with no view to settle down into a relationship anytime soon. 'I've got lots of really great friends, but the thought of being in a long-lasting relationship? Psh, I couldn't last more than six months with somebody, let alone have a father figure around for a kid,' she said. 'I mean, if I could give a kid a father figure, that would be amazing.'
Keep doing you, Michelle. And we agree - we're glad that Cara's confident enough to talk about her sexuality, and here's hoping that more and more people feel comfortable enough to come out of the closet as a result.
