Mariah Carey clarifies sexuality
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey has addressed rumours that she is bisexual. Mariah is currently expecting her first child with husband Nick Cannon, but felt the need to respond to gossip about her sexuality.
“If it makes somebody happy to say that, then whatever, but that’s not the reality,” Mariah told The Advocate magazine. “I don’t have a discriminatory policy of who I’m friends with, so yes, I’m friends with women who are gay — gay, straight, it doesn’t matter to me. So I don’t get upset when I hear that, because it is what it is. I guess I could lie about it to seem more exciting.
“If two people want to get married, it’s their prerogative — we hope. Everybody should be able to do what they want to do and be in the pursuit of happiness,” Mariah added. “Ever since I was a little girl, my mother was very open-minded and had many different types of friends, so being gay never seemed wrong or strange to me. Maybe part of the connection is that I do write songs from an outsider perspective. A lot of my die-hard gay fans don’t just know my singles, but they also know all the album cuts. I have songs about feeling different and alienated, because I grew up with my own issues, being biracial and not having money.”
