Bebe Rexha talks about her sexual flexibility

REGARD: Bebe Rexha fights against sexism and size shaming in the industry

Bebe Rexha’s music has long been received positively by the LGBTQ community, but now the singer is speaking openly about being part of the community herself.

In a new interview with Gay Times, the singer says she considers herself sexually flexible.

“Have I ever dated girls? Yes. Have I dated girls? Yes, I have. And famous ones, but I won’t name them,” Rexha said. “Even if people would live for that – no!”

“Have I ever fallen in love with a girl? Yes,” she continued. “But right now I’m with a man.”

However, she shies away from pigeonholing herself, saying instead that sexuality is “a scale” for her. She says her attraction is based on “whoever inspires (her) at the moment.”

“It’s just so hard because everyone wants to put people in boxes and I don’t like boxes, as you can tell from my music,” she said. “So, I don’t like boxes at all.”

The singer said that because of the support she receives from queer fans, she has started to open up more about her sexuality.

“I can’t tell you how many people have told me they came out to their parents, got kicked out, and saved all their money to go on my tour,” she said. “… I didn’t realize that my music could do that, that it could actually empower people.”

The singer makes it clear that she does not want to put her sexuality into a specific framework. “I consider myself flexible. Until I find ‘the one’,” she says. “I can’t just say what I am. I just want to find someone who I love and who loves me – and I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl.”
