Most Tabloids Still Afraid Of Calling Kristen Stewart Gay

Kristen Stewart spent the Christmas holidays in Hawaii with a person who is allegedly her live-in friend and, as one tabloid called it, a “gal pal,” a young woman called Alicia Cargile.

The paparazzi photographs taken of the two spending some time together on the beach seem to suggest that they might be more than just friends. There is some hand-holding, heads resting on each other’s shoulders, even a kiss, albeit shot from behind, so there still might be some room for doubt.

Yet, most tabloids are going out of their way to describe the relationship as anything other than romantic and they seem scared to death to call Kristen Stewart a lesbian. Even the style the actress has adopted recently screams “lesbian” – her hair is short and messy, her clothes are boyish and she is not wearing any makeup.

It would be interesting to find out why the tabloids are dancing around the words “lesbian” and “girlfriend.” But we are at least getting some good laughs at their attempts to define Stewart’s relationship.
