Gillian Anderson just made "X-Files" fans cream their pants yet again: the actress told Out Magazine that she had a relationship with a girl throughout high school! But she is more comfortable calling herself a bisexual, or perhaps using no label, because her subsequent relationships have been with dudes. She also says because she knew she was attracted to men, so she didn't feel especially stigmatized. "If I had thought I was 100 percent 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?" Anderson said. "It’s possible that my attitude around it came, on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys." She also added in Out, "I don’t think I’ve ever followed convention by choice. By default, maybe, but not by choice." Call yourself whatever you want, Gillian — we are girl-crushing so hard. [New York Post, Out]
