Jessie J: Love Is “About Person, Not Genitals”

• 13th May 2011

Jessie J hopes that her record Who You Are can help people who are struggling with issues of their sexuality to be comfortable with themselves.

The openly bisexual singer explained to the Telegraph: ““I’ve been with guys and I’ve been with girls. And I kind of think it’s about the person not the genitals. A lot of people are like, ‘Oh, she doesn’t know what she is.’ But I definitely think my generation is more easygoing about it.

“I mean, I think it’s harder for boys to be bisexual. I think if a girl’s bi there’s more acceptance, because guys like it. Whereas boys get more stereotyped. And girls are a bit like 'Oooh, my boyfriend’s bisexual.’ But it is what it is. That’s the message I want my album to bring – to just be true to yourself.”
