Stenberg first came to notice as ill-fated Rue, Jennifer Lawrence's sidekick in 'The Hunger Games' in 2012, when she was about 13. She is grateful that being gay has allowed her to 'experience and understand love and sex, and therefore life, in an expansive and infinite way.My sexuality is not a byproduct of my past experiences with men, who I have loved, but rather a part of myself I was born with and love deeply.' But she said they were joyful and overwhelmed sobs, not 'mournful,' and that 'socialization' kept her from 'understanding and living my truth for a while.' Stenberg, now 19, said she had a few big 'Gay Sob moments' when she realized her sexuality. 'I was so overcome with this profound sense of relief when I realized that I’m gay – not bi, not pan, but gay – with a romantic love for women,' Stenberg said. 'Yep, I'm Gay,' she told singer King Princess, who conducted the interview for the international magazine that covers new and established talent in pop culture, including fashion, film, music and art. In an interview with 'Wonderland' magazine, she got right to the point, joking about her 'Ellen DeGeneres on the 'Time' cover' moment.' Amandla Stenberg, the former teen star of 'The Hunger Games' who came out as bisexual in 2016 when she was 17, says she now realizes she's gay.
