Singer Kate Nash talks with PAPER about her fluid sexuality:

“I don’t feel the need to have an identity myself — I’ve always loved the gay community. I see myself as fluid, in that, I can fall in love with any human. I have fallen in love with a woman before. I have a boyfriend right now–I love him and I’m really happy with him, but it wouldn’t be weird to me if one day I was like, ‘I want to be with a woman.’ I’ve never felt like I needed this to be my identity. I think that comes from having super open, liberal parents. I know that they’ll accept me. I’ve never felt the need to talk about it because it’s always been very normal to me. I was at the airport the other day, and I was like, I should just be open about this because we’ll enter a time where all of these people will be in power and there are threats to civil rights that will take us back years. Being a true voice is really important right now, and I think it’s my only power. I want my fans to know they’re so safe with me and can be themselves. Some people don’t have a family [like mine]. I want them to know they can come to my shows and be themselves.”
