Kristen Stewart says Twilight is 'such a gay movie'

15 years after the Twilight saga dominated the world, Kristen Stewart can now look back and see it for what it was: extremely gay.

In a recent cover story for Variety, the Oscar-nominated Spencer star, who has two films debuting at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival, talked about how she views the Twilight series of films that catapulted her onto the A-List.

“I can only see it now,” she said when talking about the queerness of the Twilight movies. “I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating.”

“It’s such a gay movie,” she continued. “I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor and Rob and me, and it’s so hidden and not OK. I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.”

In the interview, she was also asked if she “understands how much her decision to come out has also made her a role model for LGBTQ people.” According to Variety, she cackled at the question.

“Oh, you have no idea. Every single woman that I’ve ever met in my whole life who ever kissed a girl in college is like, ‘Yeah, I mean, me too.’” she says. “I’m constantly joking with my girlfriend. I’ll be sitting there and be like, ‘She’s gay too. Everyone’s gay.’”

Amen to that!

At the Sundance Film Festival, which opens next week in Park City, Utah, Stewart has two films.

The first is the sci-fi romance Love Me, where she and Steven Yeun play a satellite and buoy who meet online and fall in love. The second is Love Lies Bleeding, a romantic thriller where she plays a gym manager who falls for a female bodybuilder (Katy O’Brian) while being entangled in her father’s crime family.
