Singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne states
in an interview with The Boot that she thinks everybody's gay.
The Grammy Award-winning artist has
previously kept quiet about her personal life, refusing to discuss
rumors about her sexuality.
In response to whether she is gay, the
44-year-old Lynne said: “I've been around the world and back so
many times, I think everybody's gay. Everybody's a little gay.”
“As far as my personal life, I don't
go into details because that's all I've got. With the person that I
allow out in the music, that's plenty,”
“But I am secure enough to say that
of all of my relationships, I've covered the boundaries. [laughs]
I don't think there's any need anymore in our time and era for titles
or brands ... because either way you try to sensitize it, somebody's
going to be offended. So the best thing to do is just be who you are
and be proud of it and hopefully everybody can love who they want to
love.”
The
country star added: “Who I'm fucking doesn't matter. But I'm
not going to sit around and say I haven't experienced pretty much
everything there is to experience, because I have, on purpose. I'm a
curious human being. So I'll leave it at that.”
The question, however, clearly annoyed
her.
“[M]y sexuality is my choice and I
choose freedom and keeping my personal life personal. I don't give a
shit. … I'm not going to be forced into making announcements [or
talk about] some silly little thing to satisfy some asshole at a
magazine who doesn't care about me or anybody like me.”
