Amber Heard says it was hard to admit that she was in a relationship with a woman. She explained that her parents were unable to process that her sexuality could be viewed outside a “binary system” of positive or negative.

Amber also stated that she didn’t reveal her disappointment with her family's reaction to them and "didn't display any negativity", but over five years, their behaviour and attitude gradually changed.
