Singer Katy B has said that people constantly assume she is a lesbian, because she has lesbian friends.

The ‘Crying For No Reason’ singer told Digital Spy that people often try to ‘out’ her, after seeing her in lesbian clubs.

She said: “One of my best friends is gay, so I’m always going with her to lesbian nights.

“Everyone always comments to me [on Twitter] to me and says, ‘We knew you were gay!’

“I’m not gay, but I’m like an honorary gay, I think. I don’t mind, I lap it up.

“I’m very passionate about LGBT rights. It’s very important to me, and I’m over the moon to be playing so many Pride events this year.”

Singer Iggy Azalea complained earlier this year said that lots of female singers are ‘fake bisexuals’ and ‘fake lesbians’ despite only ever dating men.

She said: “There was such a big trend of people being fake bisexuals. I don’t know what that was about.

“Like, ‘I’m such a bisexual woman’, and I’d be like, ‘But you had boyfriends your whole life, you’re not gay. Why are you pretending to be? What’s with that?'”

In April Jessie J said she was recieving a ‘ridiculous’ amount of hate messagesafter she labelled her bisexuality a ‘phase’.

Cameron Diaz also recently distanced herself from previous statements that she was ‘sexually attracted’ to women.
