Amber Heard is recalling coming out to her religious parents and what happened afterwards

“I am from Austin, Texas. My dad is out of central casting Texan. Good Southern man, and I was raised in a religious home. And being an outspoken lesbian, atheist, vegetarian, I remember when I told them about my relationship, that I was in love with this woman, and at the beginning of that it was just tears, tears,” Amber said over the weekend during a panel at SXSW (via People). “They didn’t know how to process it because, for them, it was being thrown into a binary system of processing it, negative or positive.”

“Five years later, I was getting an award, and I asked my parents to drive out to Dallas. And I see them sitting front and center and here I am getting this ‘gay’ award… My parents in five years, look at the journey. Attitudes and hearts can change,” she continued.

Previously, Amber dated Tasya van Ree for four years. They split in 2012 and she married Johnny Depp in 2015 but later divorced.
