Irish singer Sinead O'Connor said this
week that she hopes to have better luck with women than she's had
with men.
O'Connor came out lesbian in 2000,
calling herself a “dyke.” She married her fourth husband,
therapist Barry Herridge, after a brief courtship in 2011. O'Connor
announced 17 days later that the marriage was over. She issued a
reunited announcement the following week.
“Having no joy anyway in the dating
department,” O'Connor
wrote on her blog. “I changed my 'I am seeking a' to 'woman'
[on a dating site]. Just to see if I have any better luck. I notice
at shows and generally life it's women who want to marry me and or
'do' me etc.”
“I been thinking for a few years
anyway it ain't really working out with men. So we'll see what
happens,” she added.
In
a 2012 interview with gay glossy The Advocate, O'Connor,
47, rejected the label bisexual, saying she's “not sure if it's
accurate.”
