Jessie J has said she does not want to
be defined by her bisexuality.
The 24-year-old Jessie J told Glamour
Magazine that she's more concerned about the person than his
or her gender.
“For me, I want it to be less about
sexuality and more about being comfortable in who you fall in love
with,” the singer-songwriter said. “If I meet someone and I like
them, I don't care if they're a boy or a girl. You should never,
ever apologize for anything that makes you happy. My mom and dad
were always so cool about it; they were just like, 'You're not
harming anyone. Enjoy your life.'”
The
Do It Like a Dude singer added that she didn't want to be defined
by her sexuality.
“The frustrating thing is that if I
was with a guy right now, I'd be [considered] straight. But if I was
with a girl, I'd be 'gay.' When I was with my ex-girlfriend, I used
to take her around and say, 'This is my girlfriend.' People would be
comfortable with it because I was. That's what annoys me about the
media. I've never tried to make [my sexuality] something that's
going to put me in newspapers or magazines. I'm never, ever going to
let it be something that sells my music. Sexuality shouldn't define
you. It should be part of who you are. At the moment I'm single,
and I'm happy and learning about myself. Music is the love of my
life right now.”
