Amber Heard has come out of the closet and is speaking out. The Pineapple Express actress spoke to AfterEllen.com at the The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation 25th Anniversary Party in Los Angeles. Heard told the web site by not speaking out, she would be part of the problem and talked candidly about her relationship with her partner Tasya van Ree.

On labeling and speaking out in Hollywood:

AH: It’s hard. I think GLAAD is one of the many reasons that I, as a 24-year-old, can come out. I think that organizations like GLAAD make that possible because if it weren’t for opinions being changed, people being influenced, people being engaged to do the right thing, then there would be no prerogative for anyone to come out. Like I said, I can’t be a part of the problem. I hate the idea of a label just as much as anyone else but I’m with who I’m with, I love who I love and I’m if not a better actress than I was yesterday and my personal life should have no effect on that. I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn’t sleep at night if I was a part of that problem, if I was part of the lies.

On Dating Her Partner Tasya van Ree:

AH: She’s so beautiful. I mean, you’d have to be crazy not to want to go out with her!

Something tells us she shares the same feeling about Amber... just saying...

What? You've never heard of Amber Heard? This Pineapple Express Hottie tops the Italian issue of GQ in March.

We would love to give you the details of the interview however none of the Amore editors are fluent in Italian (Yes, we know Amore is an Italian word.)

Needless to say, you can catch more of Amber soon on the big screen in The Informers due out April 24th. Heard will share the screen with Mickey Rourke, Billy Bob Thorton and Kim Basinger.

The Informers, is about as IMDb put it, A multi-strand narrative set in early 1980's Los Angeles, centered on an array of characters who represent both the top of the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a dissolute rock star, an aging newscaster) and the bottom (a voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con). Connecting the intertwining strands are a group of beautiful, blonde young men and women who sleep all day and party all night, doing drugs -- and one another --with abandon, never realizing that they are dancing on the edge of a volcano.

In other words, just the day in a life of an Amore staffer...
