RightWingers Are Terrified of Our Gay Kristen Stewart Cover
"Ever since 2012, when Donald Trump wrote a string of tweets about how Robert Pattinson should dump her, Kristen Stewart has occupied a curious space in the conservative imagination.
It was being reminded of those comments, as she revealed in Rolling Stone‘s March cover story, that inspired Stewart to come out as gay in a Saturday Night Live monologue five years later, shedding once and for all the waif-like image thrust upon her by the Twilight saga — the vampire romance movies that made her a force in Hollywood. Since then, she has become a queer icon of the big screen, pursuing layered roles in challenging and subversive films.
But the visibility of celebrities like Stewart (and lesser-known LGBTQ individuals) has been interpreted by far-right agitators as evidence that young people are being “groomed” into adopting sexual and gender identities that fall outside a heteronormative standard. Unsurprisingly, then, Stewart’s new photoshoot with Rolling Stone, which played with masculine-coded fashion and props (i.e., jock straps and gym weights), has this crowd foaming at the mouth once more."
