Servers overwhelmed after Anna Paquin reveals bisexuality for LGBT supportive video
”The PSA was taped Saturday, January 30th, at the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles, and a source exclusively tells RadarOnline.com that Paquin, on-camera, identified herself as being bisexual, saying: “I’m Anna Paquin. I’m bisexual, and I give a damn.’… Our source tells us that people close to Paquin, who were at the shoot, did not know she was going to make the statement, and it was a surprise to them.”
Back story from Radar Online about Anna Paquin‘s seemingly new revelation that she is bisexual. Paquin, 21, is an actress who first came to prominence for her childhood performance in the movie “The Piano.” She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and gave one of the cutest speeches in Oscar history. She went on to star as Rogue in the popular “X-Men” movie series, and most recently as Sookie Stackhouse on the popular HBO TV series “True Blood.” She is currently engaged to her male co-star Stephen Moyer.

”Due to the enormous traffic from the many news stories about the Give a Damn Campaign and Anna Paquin identifying as bisexual today, wegiveadamn.org has been overwhelmed. We are back up and running, but you will find things might be a bit slow until we can put a better fix in place. Thank you for giving a damn and visiting the site.’‘
Announcement from Day 2 of the “We Give a Damn” campaign. The organization describes itself as “a bold, web-based initiative with the goal of educating and engaging the straight community in the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.” Several celebrities appear in the PSA videos including “Cyndi Lauper, Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Mraz, Cynthia Nixon, Anna Paquin, Sharon & Kelly Osbourne, Judith Light, Kim Kardashian, Clay Aiken, Wanda Sykes, Eric Roberts, and Kevin Alejandro.” It is not known if television stations will actually air the saucy ads which repetitively use the four-letter word, or who the target audience is. The project is an off-shoot of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors Fund. (WeGiveADamn.org)
