When asked if she identified as bisexual in an interview for Allure's December issue, the Justice League actress said, "I don't identify as anything."

On Saturday, the actress, who has since spoken out about her sexuality, reflected on the time she told her parents about dating a gal during the Making Change On and Off the Screen panel at SXSW Conference and Festival.
"I am from Austin, Texas. My dad is out of central casting Texan. Good Southern man, and I was raised in a religious home," she described on the panel, according to People. "And being an outspoken lesbian, atheist, vegetarian, I remember when I told them about my relationship, that I was in treasure with this woman, and at the beginning of that it was just tears, tears."
