Evan Rachel Wood On Biphobia and Pay Disparity

The Mary Sue: In a candid interview with Motto, Evan Rachel Wood discussed working with Ellen Page in Into the Forest, the importance of sharing stories in the LGBT community, biphobia, pay disparity, and representation. Earlier this year, the actress critiqued the media’s rampant biphobia in responses to Amber Heard on Twitter. Wood elaborates on the coverage in this interview, calling it “bullshit” and “unfair.”

Hearing about the hatred towards different sexual identities, gender identities, religions, political views, or economic classes that too often fuels the danger in our world makes me disgusted. For the past three years I have been privileged enough to travel to Thailand, Ghana, and Tanzania to do service work, and one of the main messages that the group instilled in the students was that we have a responsibility to level with everyone around us and to work towards the common good. There is enough pain in the world. It is absolutely unnecessary that people need to create more by being offended by things that don’t even involve them. No one should feel like they are unwelcome in society because in the end, we are all just passing through the world. It is no one’s to have or dominate. There is no reason that we should tell another person that who they are is invalid or wrong.
