UK lesbians think Pink will come out in 2009

Pink may have backtracked on previous statements about her own experience with girl-on-girl love, but UK lesbians still aren't convinced. The singer topped a recent poll conducted by Lesbilicious.co.uk as the No. 1 straight girl crush, with 31 percent of participants saying they are expecting (or wishing?) she'll come out of the closet this year. Wow. That's a pretty big assumption. Are they psychic? I certainly hope so.

Lesbilicious refers to Pink as "secretly gay" and writes:

… she's got the hair, the tattoos and most importantly the attitude — no wonder lesbians love her! Hopefully it's only a matter of time before she realises how much more fun girls are and comes over to the dyke side.

As much as we'd all love for this to happen, Pink doesn't seem to be very secretive about anything. She's talked before about past flings with women, and sure, she later brushed those off, but everyone is entitled to grow up, learn about themselves and marry/divorce a dude, thus causing their lesbian fans to think they may actually have a chance to date you, you know, if you'd just come out already.

The poll also found that Ellen Page is right behind Pink as the No. 2 favorite straight girl, but Lesbilicious made no claim as to what percentage of respondents think she, too, will come out. Maybe they don't think that will happen until 2010, 2011. Tina Fey came in at No. 3 (but she'll always be No. 1 to us!). Katy Perry, on the other hand, was favored by only 3 percent.

As for actual lesbian and bisexual women who were favored in the UK, Ellen DeGeneres was No. 1 (shocking!), Angelina Jolie was right behind her at No. 2 (Really? Still?) and Leisha Hailey came in at No. 3.

Is there someone you think might come out in 2009? Do you expect Pink to be making related statements anytime soon?

I really love Pink..

So i would love her even better if she did come out as a lesbian ;) but unfortunatley i doubt it, if anything i think she's bi.

and what does this all point

and what does this all point to? the MASSIVE LACK of dykeish ladies in the media! is this a good or bad thing though? without provision of the lesbian paris hilton, britney spears and kate moss-esque role models, does this mean lesbians can feel a whole lot more ok about being ourselves? after all, we have no one to tell us how to react through our marriages (excl. ellen), divorces and all the in-betweens. does this mean we can be more ourselves, and are under less-pressure to imitate our stars? of course, we pay the price of authenticity by feeling a little (lot?) less legitimate in declaring our sexuality as a consequence of fewer gay schlebrities... is that what we would choose if we had the choice?

gaydar malfunction?

I love Pink, but she doesn't beep for me.  'Course, bisexuals rarely register on my gaydar, so maybe that's the case? She's awesome though.  I really wouldn't like her more or less if she turned out to be clinically insane or in love with a plant.  She's Pink.  She has her own category of beep, and that is pure genius.

yaay Pink

UK girls really got the number one 'I wish she was gay' on my list. But still while she really has got it all, she's one of the few celebrities that I admire for being really genuine and honest. I think even if she was an alien, coming out as one will be an issue for her. Still a girl can dream, or even 31% of them:)

Pink is just...there. Would

Pink is just...there. Would it really be that much of a shock if she were to come out? I see her as being more omnisexual than anything.

Ellen Page. Schwoon. 

I'll continue to hope the Justin Timberlake comes out as Jessica Biel's beard. Now that would be an outing that I'd like to see.

I've never really gotten a lesbo vibe off Pink, sure she has tattoos and piercings and short hair and an attitude, but I see that as just part of her public image. Nothing she ever does in the media makes it seem she is particularly sapphic.

Sarah Mclachlan?

How about Sarah Mclachlan? She's split with hubby. Anyone see her sing with Pink at the AMA's recently? Great chemistry.... I just saw a documentary of the Lilith Fair that she helmed. There were A LOT of dykes there! I can't believe she didn't hook up with any of them, at least for a fling...:)

Ping Ping

Sarah McLachlan had a huge lesbian following even before 'Fumbling Toward Ecstacy' was released. I didn't know she had split with her husband. I doubt she hooked up with anyone during the Lilith Fair tours; her husband was her drummer and they were newly weds at the time.

Pink? Gay?

nah i just think it's another Jolie case. I have seen too many bad-ass, shaved head, tattooed all over women who are just straight. TERRIBLY, SADLY straight.

Some mad scientist lesbians who did multiple grad schools (believe me, they exist. We're ...just a smart breed) should create a gay potion of sort. I volunteer to risk my life and go "poison" all those ladies on that list.

pink... aaaawh yum!

pink is amazin no doubt about it..

ive always hada feeling she was gay even before i knew i was myself.. althou she has the "normal" and significant traits of a gay woman.. it still doesnt mean she is..

althou i would loooooove if she was :)

Tina Fey? really? as much

Tina Fey? really? as much as I love her I'm pretty sure shes straight. my gaydars pretty good most of the time but I'm still gonna hope I'm wrong ;)

I'm pretty sure Pink is bi. I think I read somewhere she calls herself pansexual? loooooove her!

Ellen Page would have gotten my vote. I'm so sure shes gay and I love it :D

Pink

Something tells me that IF Pink were gay, she wouldn't hide in the closet. I think she has already come out as bisexual. If she suddenly falls in love and marry's a woman, that doesn't make her a lesbian, it only makes her a bisexual in a committed relationship with a woman!

AMN's picture

On the fence

As much as I would love to see Pink on our team, part of me hopes she really isn't.  It doesn't seem fair that most, if not all, strong; independent; smart; out-spoken; etc women are automatically assumed to be gay....if that makes any sense.

While, this may anger some of the members here, am I the only one that thought Angelina looked absolutely frightening in the picture on this blog?  Yikes!

I agree!

and ive noticed that as well...most succesful woman I know are gay...but, we get more power  that way ;) Lol.

Miss jolie fish lips always looks scary!...if you think THAT is scary..you should see Girl, Interrupted! LOL.

PINK?!?!?! ..ELlen Page! :O

Lol attitued are not everything!, though she does looks it my gay radar is too accurate and I wouldnt give her anything else than just a Bi in disguise!. Being the wya she is I guess she wouls me proudly out where she to be a lesbian.

Ellen page?!?!? Omg! Ive never thought she would be though the way she carries herself might suggest something!..and the roles shes played in movies, anddd the way she talks..rwar! Lol. Ill do her right there and then if she does come out ;). I love her as it is!..lets not say if she came out. *rubs horns*

*Sigh

I have dreamed of Pink being "one of us" since I was...12?

Maybe she is.

I just really don't think coming out has to be some big production.

 

LadyPussycat's picture

Someone ANYone!

I don't care who it is, we need more out celebs especially in the wake of Prop 8 passing. So, for the new year I hope we have some more exposure in the media...unexpected's would be a plus, instead of blatant obvious ones like lil Aiken.

Pink? I used to swear up and down that she was, but for the last two+ years she's fooled me. 

I'd lovelove to hear of someone coming out and being completely shocked. I don't remember when that's happened. ROSIE'S GAY?? Like, omg.

Personal bet: Reba. She's gotta be!!

 

BAS's picture

Straight people were shocked by Rosie

Why, I'm not sure, but I remember all these people being like what?  And I was so confused because she seemed totally gay to me.

Wanda Sykes was also a surprise to most people - I wasn't sure about her but she was in my category of "I wouldn't be surprised either way."

I thought that Lindsay Lohan being not straight was surprising.  Not by the time she actually confirmed it, I guess, but the first few times I saw the rumors I have to say I did not see it coming.

As for Pink...I am all about people definining themselves, but sorry, once you've said you were bi and seriously dated some women (ie, kissed them when nobody else was around), you are bi in my book. So, is she gay?  Only she can answer that, but she's definitely on our LGBT team.

 

Wondergirrl's picture

Pink obsession...

Well Pink is apparently straight. Why do lesbians make such a fuss about her I don't understand..because she has short hair and acts masculine? I used to like her but now she seems just..annoying.
Baby_Bridgets_Bitch's picture

Why does being a strong,

Why does being a strong, independant, talented, free willed and inked to the shit house automatically mean you are gay? What? She can't be all those things without being a lesbian? That's stupid, there are plenty of straight women out there that have tattoos, awsome hair and a strong sense of self.

Pink is definitely bi so it wouldnt be a surprise if she had a public relationship with a female in the future.

 

Ellen Page is an interesting "case" since she's definitely ringing everybody's gaydars and all but still she hasnt done/said anything about this matter? And I sort of have a feeling she would if she were.. but I dont know maybe shes waiting for the right moment or sumn

Plus Pink is Bi, hehe.

 

mmmmm Ellen Page.

confuzzled's picture

Nah...

I don't think Pink is lesbian OR bi. She's said so herself, and I doubt its because of media pressure; she's the type to do or say whatever she wants. If she were truly gay she'd come right out and say it.

But, what does it matter? I don't really care for Pink. I just thank God that Angelina Jolie is bi...;)

Meeting Ms Right...

A lot of people seem to think that Pink's directness and attitude which make her so appealing are going to be a barrier to her coming out in the future simply because if she was gay (or bi) she'd already *be* out.

Her past openness about flings with women suggest she is open to relationships with women so maybe we can just hope she meets some awesome woman in 2009 that she wants a relationship with.  It's possible to be mostly straight until you meet the right person :-).

I *love* Ellen Page but she seems to me to be another person who is just so damn cool and together that'd if she already was sure she was gay would be out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she meets the woman of her dreams soon although my (very happy) relationship means that it won't be me. Of course her fame and location may also be factors in that one!!

I heart Pink

I definitely think Pink is bi-sexual and its pretty obvious that she really doesn't care to define her sexuality or hide it.(anyone else sense a same-sex vibe in her song "Oh My God"?) It's possible she will start having relationships with women after enduring the divorce with Carey but I doubt she will ever proclaim herself as a lesbian. Yes it would be wonderful to hear her just say the words. Either way she will always be under that classification as long as she continues rockin that androgynous bad-ass style we all love. As for other stars coming out in '09. Hmm... think its about time Queen Latifah?

if you don't believe in same-sex marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex.

Yes, I definitely get a same

Yes, I definitely get a same sex vibe from "Oh My God" that song is hot.

 But I agree with everyone on here who said that if Pink was gay she would be out by now. Bisexual but I don't she's gay.

I wish she was. Damn!

AE - typo!

AE, I think you made a typo: you've linked to the site lesbolicious.co.uk when I think the correct site name is lesbilicious.co.uk! Just lettin ya know. 

As for 'straight' celebs coming out as not so straight: I'm going for Jessica Biel. There's been rumours/photos for a while now, and only slightly deranged people like Britney Spears would voluntarily date Justin Timberlake. Even if he does kinda look like a manbian.

Oh and Ellen Page is so very gay. Let her make a name for herself in acting before coming out though, otherwise there would be a good chance that she'll be talked about more for being gay than for how great an actress she is.

JB... i had no idea.  those pictures made me laugh out loud - especially the first one.  no wait, the third one, too.  no wait, all of them...

hey, maybe she's bi.  who knows.  JT definitely has some lesbian sex appeal, which melinda lo mentioned once in a blog post about the top ten men lesbians find attractive.

Pink, Angie,... well

Well it dont matter if lesbian, bisexual or whatever.... is her life anyways.. but it could be annoying when they are trying to label people.... they just want publicity....
AfterStr8's picture

Pink? Really??

Didn't she told us, in an interview, that she's not gay and that she likes the penis very much so?

I vote for Ellen Page (she WILL come out one day)

Also, Evan Rachel Wood and Mischa Barton must come out as bisexuals already (and preferably a couple) for the world to be a better place again..

...a punk, a punk, a nerd...

P!nk is soooooooo gay:1. She made out with Kris Loken (publicly) one can only assume she was consumed with Sapphic passion or, you know, a media whore...2. She made out with "herself" (a hot Swedish body double) in her video for "Sober"...3. She has admitted on various occasions that she likes girls (maybe this should have been #1)...4. Oh yeah! And her favorite producer (with whom she has collaborated with many-a-times ) is a lesbian...with whom i'm sure she's been locked in a studio with ALONE on more than one occasion...P!nk is Cookie-Monster gay and anyone who doesn't think so is blind! -Thane

made out with kris loken (publically), and then snogged herself in a music video? media whorage of the highest degree, surely!

all i know is our local gay bar wont get her tour dvd off their flat screen. shes just courting her dykey fans.

StrawberryPanic's picture

I'm getting annoyed.

 Stop calling Pink a lesbian. If anyone should understand the definition of a lesbian, it should be most of the members on this site. If anything she might be bi. Sure, she could switch teams- but she hasn't done that. She likes men. Until she comes out and says, "I've realized what the rest of the intelligent world has known for years- I'm gay" none of us should be calling her a lesbian. It just confuses people who are already confused about our happy little world.

And as for Ellen Page, i thought she was a lesbian before she spoke a word in Juno, but she has never actually spoken publicly about it.

Carly Pope. Girl has hit my radar for years.

 

 

And as for Pink. She did say she was Bisexual so i just always assumed she was, and nndb has her listed as bisexual
