Pop star Anne-Marie has revealed that she’s attracted to women.
The British musician, who went to number one in more than 20 countries as a featured artist on Clean Bandit’s hit song “Rockabye,” has opened up about her sexuality.
The 27-year-old followed Demi Lovato, Kehlani and Janelle Monáe in coming out over the past two months.

Like these American stars, Anne-Marie said her sexuality was not limited by gender.
The singer, who released her first album Speak Your Mind on April 27, told music publication The Line of Best Fit: “I’ve never ever just been attracted to men. I’ve never just been attracted to women.”
She continued: “I’ve never felt the need to tell anyone that I’m bisexual.

“I don’t feel like I am. I just feel like I’m attracted to who I like.
“I honestly feel like everyone is like that,” she added.
The rising star said the intention behind one of the songs on her new album, Perfect, was to pay tribute to and normalise differences.
The track covers a range of issues from body image to mental health with honesty, vulnerability and strength – and, crucially, in one line she sings about how she sees her sexuality.

Anne-Marie tells listeners: “And I’ll love who I want to love, ’cause this love is gender-free.”
Beautiful.
Pop star Hayley Kiyoko, who has been dubbed Lesbian Jesus by her fans, renamed 2018 as 20GayTeen, and she’s been proven completely right so far.

Either side of Kiyoko’s proudly lesbian album Expectations being released in March, musicians publicly declared that they were members of the LGBT community.
In March, Demi Lovato explained her sexuality, saying: “I’m very fluid, and I think love is love.
“You can find it in any gender.

“I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want.”
In April, Kehlani came out as queer, not long after she kissed Lovato on stage during a concert.
The 22-year-old singer made the announcement after years of public speculation and media reports labelling her as bisexual or a lesbian.

She wrote on Twitter: “cuz i keep geddin asked.. i’m queer. not bi, not straight. i’m attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. does that answer your questions? ✨”
The two-time Grammy Award nominee added that “if ur attracted to a man and then change your energy up when you find out he’s sexually ambiguous or queer, thass gross.”
She told followers that “you bout to miss out on some fye s**t.”

And on April 26, Janelle Monáe came out as queer.
The 32-year-old singer ended years of rumours by calling herself “a queer black woman” who wasn’t sure if she was bisexual or pansexual, adding: “I’m open to learning more about who I am.”
