Anna Paquin is taking a stand.
The bisexual actress, 38, is married to her fellow "True Blood" alum Stephen Moyer and took to Instagram on Tuesday to address critics of her sexuality.
In a post on the app featuring a rainbow background – a symbol associated with the LGBTQ+ community – she wrote: "I’m a #proudbisexual who is married to a wonderful human who happens to be a man."
"If he doesn’t have a problem with it, why should anyone else?" she added in the caption. She added the hashtags: "#loveislove #f---bierasure #bipride."

"I am getting tired of seeing ‘bi’ celebrities constantly advocate for it only to end up conventionally married to men with multiple children, living out the so-called white-picket-fence life," said the comment in part.
"Ah yes ... the 'you aren't queer enough' BS," Paquin clapped back.
She also shared another photo to her Instagram Story reading: " Bisexual women dating men are still bisexual. Bisexual men dating women are still bisexual."
ANNA PAQUIN SAYS SHE'S ‘INCREDIBLY HAPPY’ WITH SEVEN-WORD ROLE IN ‘THE IRISHMAN’
Paquin and Moyer, 51, married in 2010 while still starring in "True Blood."
The star came out as bisexual earlier this year during a brief video promoting the Give A Damn campaign, which featured celebrities belonging to the LGBTQ+ community and their allies raising awareness of hate crimes.
"I’m bisexual," she said early in the video, later adding: "… One hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country."
In 2012, she spoke to Zooey magazine, calling her bisexuality a "minor biographical detail" in her life, but added that she wanted to speak up on LGBTQ+ issues.

"If you're going to talk about some cause in a way that's meaningful, you should identify why it means something to you," Paquin said, per People magazine. "For a bisexual, it's not about gender. That's not the deciding factor for who they're attracted to."

In 2014, she again expressed pride in her sexuality on Twitter.
"Proud to be a happily married bisexual mother," she wrote at the time. "Marriage is about love not gender."
