Is kate blanchett gay

Exactly. The best lgbtq+ movies are the ones that don't try to hammer home any compassionate of political communication. I like mine straight up, no pun intended. :winkgirl: Another classic woman loving woman movie is Desert Hearts, also put in the 50s. It's only communication is getting the girl, period. And neither actress was a lesbian. Another favorite of mine is Bound. Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon out to steal a couple million from the mob. Enough said. :drool:

On the other hand, we possess the execrable Claire of the Moon. At least one of the leads and some of the supporting cast are lesbians; and it's written, produced, and directed by Nicole Conn, also a lesbian. But the movie takes itself much too seriously, the dialogue ponderous and pretentious. This movie needed to be told as a easy love story instead of trying to make political statements. Nobody cares, just get the girl.

One of the great strengths of Carol is that the love between Carol and Therese is portrayed not as a cherish affair between two women but as a love affair! The message couldn't be clearer, passion is love is love, and the gender of those in love is immaterial.

Sorry, Cate Blanchett, Gays Really Do Demand to Shout Their Sexuality From the Rafters

I admit, in May, when a Variety cover story suggested that the gorgeous and brilliant actress Cate Blanchett might harbor gay desires, I was as aflame as any other red-blooded American dyke. 

Imagine my disappointment when, at the Cannes Production Festival a several days later, she claimed that the reporter had misrepresented their conversation. In fact, she’s not had sexual relations with women. That revelation wasn’t as surprising, though, as the contempt she seemed to communicate toward gays who, in her view, make their sexualities too public and central to their identities.

Discussing Carol, her new film based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt, which chronicles a admire affair between two women in 1950s New York Metropolis, Blanchett told the press at Cannes that Carol’s “sexuality is a secret affair,” adding with perceptible disdain: “What happens these days is if you are homosexual, you have to discuss about it constantly; it has to be the only thing; you contain to put it before your operate, before any other aspect of your personality.” Perhaps Blanchett was decrying conservative culture’

I’m going to keep ringing this bell, I don’t care how annoying I am: Tár was my favorite film of the past year. The past several years, honestly. I loved Cate Blanchett’s production, I love the ghost story aspect of the film, I love the evocative, moody, gothic drama of it, I loved that Todd Field created this total world of Lydia Tár. As I was reading Cate’s Awards Insider cover story, I learned that the box office for Tár was actually pretty bad? But it’s been available for streaming/rent for nearly two months, so I conceive that’s how people will find the movie, as I did. You should absolutely try to discover it, it’s brilliant! Anyway, Cate has been promoting Tár for months and she found herself in the middle of a huge Oscar campaign, thus this Awards Insider cover. Her interview was charming (to me). Some highlights:

Cate doesn’t even have all the answers on Tár: “I found Tár the most all-consuming, confronting, joyous, life-affirming endeavor that I’ve ever been involved in. I don’t know what exactly it is, but I know it’s something. So I want people to tell me what it is because I’m still figuring it out for myself.”

Preparation: She had months to prep

Cate Blanchett reveals she had 'many' lesbian relationships

Happily-married Oscar-winning Australian star Cate Blanchett has revealed she had "many" past relationships with women in an interview with an American magazine.

The Australian, 45, made the comment while promoting her latest film Carol, in which she plays a bisexual person woman in 1950s New York.

When asked if it was her first turn as a sapphic, Blanchett asked: "On film -- or in real life?"

Pressed by Variety magazine for details about whether she had past relationships with women, she said: "Yes. Many times," without elaborating.

Blanchett has been married to screenwriter husband Andrew Upton for 18 years. They three have sons -- Ignatius, 6, Roman, 10, and Dashiell, 13 -- and in March adopted a baby daughter.

In the film, which is due to premiere at Cannes this month, New Yorker Carol Aird (Blanchett) embarks on a devote affair with a young department store clerk Therese Belivet, played by Rooney Mara.

While giving no details about her past romances, Blanchett said in the interview that she was someone who valued her privacy and never uses Twitter or Googles herself.

She has also never watched herself in movies
