Anna Paquin spoke with V Magazine this week and the HBO True Blood star opened up about her recent announcement that she’s bisexual.

When asked why she didn’t open up about her sexuality until last year Paquin told the magazine that:

“Frankly, no one had ever asked me before,” while adding, “My sexuality is something I’m completely comfortable with and open about.”

Paquin goes on to add:

“There’s a lot of prejudice toward us, but the more people talk about it, the less of a big deal it will be,” and  “And that will be better for everyone. Who people choose to sleep with—or spend their lives with—shouldn’t matter, not that anyone particularly cares who I’m attracted to.”

Check out the full interview in V Magazine to read more about Paquin, her True Blood character Sookie Stackhouse and her marriage to co-star Stephen Moyer.

As a giggling fangirl, I was particularly tickled by the “True Bud” and “TruNutz” references.

If Anna Paquin’s sultry portrayal of virginal vamp lover in HBO’s hit series True Blood isn’t enough to make all the fanboys and girls adore her, the actress “came out” as bisexual in a recent gay rights PSA launched today.

Organizers say that Paquin’s announcement during the January 30th taping came as a surprise. In the clip (below), Paquin adorably states, “I’m Anna Paquin. I’m bisexual and I give a damn.” The PSA is part of the “Give a Damn” campaign, promoted by the True Colors Fund, which is an organization to promote awareness about gay, lesbian and transgender rights.

Paquin’s current gig also happens to be on a show that does a lot in and of itself to subtly promote gay rights. Creator Alan Ball is openly gay, and the show frequently veers into big honking allegory territory with its portrayal of vampire rights in America. (Some find it heavy handed, but fans tend to think it endearing.) A story arc during the last season saw two main characters discussing a trip to Vermont to marry, as human/vampire marriages were not permitted in the rest of the country. (And the opening sequence famously features a sign that reads “God Hates Fangs.”)

Paquin is currently engaged to True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, who fans will know as Vampire Bill.

HBO’s hit series True Blood returns June 14, and in the lead up HBO has released some new ads with additional footage.

New details are revealed about Jessica, the new vampire who was converted by Bill in the last series. We see Maryann generating power, Jason in attack mode and Tara in shook.

The series is based on the Sookie Stackhouse book series (known as The Southern Vampire Mysteries) by Charlaine Harris. After a slow start on debut in 2008, strong word of mouth saw True Blood grow to be HBO’s most popular series since the Soprano’s and Sex and the City, and rightly so, because it’s a great show.

Here’s the new True Blood spots:
