Gillian Anderson is featured in the new issue of Out magazine, and the 43-year-old actress reveals that while she's had romantic relationships with women in the past, she’s not gay.
“I was in a relationship with a girl for a long time when I was in high school,” the former X-Files star told the magazine, adding that she’s hooked up with several other women in the past. “If I had thought I was 100% gay, would it have been a different experience for me? Would it have been a bigger deal if shame had been attached to it and all those things that become huge life-altering issues for youngsters in that situation? It’s possible that my attitude around it came on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys.”
Anderson is currently in a relationship with Mark Griffiths, with whom she has two children, and she has been married twice before. Sounds like she'd have quite a lot to discuss with Cynthia Nixon!
