Pink is Proud to be Called Gay
Tags: Gay, pink
Now you don’t have to feel bad when you call Pink a man–she takes it as a compliment! Female First unpackages it for us:
Pop star Pink is unfazed by rumours she’s bi-sexual, insisting she is “proud” to be considered a part of the gay community.
The So What singer was often mistaken for a lesbian in the early days of her career because of her tomboy looks.
And Pink, who recently split from husband Carey Hart, admits she loves challenging the public’s image of her.
She says, “I’m proud people think I’m gay. Everyone has always thought I was gay because of the tattoos, the short hair, the attitude. But I don’t care. I love to challenge people’s preconceptions.”
That’s kind of the strategy I took in elementary school. All the kids used to call me Quasimodo because of my scoliosis and bulging downturned eye due to an untreated case of hyrdocephalus. Sure, they THOUGHT they were hurting my feelings, but I just so happened to be an ardent admirer of Victor Hugo and so I was PROUD to be likened to his literary character. Take THAT, school bullies!

Good for you!!! It’s funny when you can turn it around like that. They think they are pulling you down with their names but they are just reinforcing the pride you have in being associated with a strong and unique individual or community. They used to call me nerd and walking dictionary in middle school, as an offense, but I would just beam with pride. They thought I was that smart! What an honor! I thought it was the best compliment.
