Twitter thinks Dakota Johnson quietly came out as bisexual, here's why
Because there is still so little LGBTQ+ representation in Hollywood, it's no wonder us queers get a little... overexcited when we hear someone super famous could be one of us. All this to say, spare a thought for the Twitter users who have become so enthralled with the news that Dakota Johnson could be bisexual, that her name is now trending for this very reason.
So why does everyone on Twitter think Dakota Johnson is bisexual?
It appears an old interview Dakota did with Vogue back in 2017 has resurfaced, and it looks like she may have quietly spoken out about her sexuality without anyone really realising it. In the interview, she said, "I’ve been in a phase of my life where I’m fascinated by young women coming to terms with their sexuality,” she explains. “I guess, by proxy, I have been experiencing that in my own life, and it’s very interesting to me."
A screenshot of this very quote was shared on Twitter and is now doing the rounds, with plenty of bisexual and queer people rejoicing that Dakota could be part of the community.
Later on in the interview, she opened up about her breakup from model and Drowners singer Matthew Hitt. She said, "I don’t do casual very well, and my feelings, even the good ones, get so intense that they hurt." Now, any queer person will tell you this is a very queer thing to say indeed.
But most interestingly, she added, "Can we make things really juicy? Can we say that I’m taking this time to explore my bisexuality?"
Although she doesn't seem to have ever done an official (whatever that is?!) 'coming out', the Dakota Johnson hashtag is awash with memes of queer celebration.

Other Twitter users shared pictures from back in 2016 of Dakota and Cara Delevingne, with captions claiming they were dating at the time. But this was never confirmed by either Dakota or Cara.
They also posted a series of photos of Dakota staring longingly at Aubrey Plaza (a known bisexual!), who is sitting on her lap.
