Kristen Stewart has claimed that straight actors playing gay characters is "such a gray area" in a new interview. The Twilight actress is all set to star in a Christmas movie Happiest Season, in which she plays a lesbian art student named Abby, who has been invited by her girlfriend Harper to her family's home for Christmas dinner. Per <a href="https://deadline.com/video/happiest-season-trailer-kristen-stewart-mackenzie-davis-daniel-levy-alison-brie-audrey-plaza-mary-steenburgen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Deadline</a>, things then escalate for the couple, due to the fact that Harper has not yet come out to her parents.

Being somebody who has had so much access to work, I've just lived with such a creative abundance. "You know, a young white girl who was straight and only really was gay later and is, like, skinny - do you know what I'm saying? I so acknowledge that I've just gotten to work."</blockquote> [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzWZ3EH5Tf/]] She continued: <blockquote>"I think it's such a gray area. There are ways for men to tell women's stories or ways for women to tell men's stories. But we need to have our finger on the pulse and actually have to care. You kind of know where you're allowed. "If you’re telling a story about a community and they’re not welcoming to you, then f**k off."</blockquote> <img class=" wp-image-12625352" src="https://img.vt.co/2020/11/0d2109ea-kirsten_stewart_2-1.jpg" alt="An image of Kirsten Stewart.

And therefore helping each other tell stories." Stewart identified as bisexual in a 2017 interview with <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/mar/09/kristen-stewart-bisexual-personal-shopper-trump-tweets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Guardian</a> and has dated women herself previously.
