“Wasn’t it obvious that I liked girls? “I didn’t realize people didn’t know”: Billie Eilish is definitely clarifying her sexual orientation. It all goes back to an interview the singer gave a few days ago: “I never felt like I was understood by girls,” she explained. I adore them, I adore them as people and I am physically attracted to them but also intimidated by their beauty and their presence. And again: “I have never felt desirable, feminine.” I have to convince myself that I am a nice girl. I identify as she/her (she/it, gender identity pronouns), but I’ve never really felt like a girl.”
Statements that didn’t leave much doubt, but that Billie Eilish clarified even better: “When I read the article, I thought: I think I really came out today… I’ve always lived it quietly, even before I talked about it.” To be honest, I’ve never had any problems. In this interview I spoke about it very spontaneously and naturally, assuming that those who follow me already knew everything. I ask myself: Why can’t we just exist? The 13-year-old singer, who was propelled to success by Ocean Eyes, had previously spoken about the damage caused by porn: “I think porn is a disgrace.” To be honest, I’ve watched a lot of it. I started when I was eleven because it helped me feel cool and part of the crowd. It actually destroyed my brain, it gave me nightmares because the content I saw was often so violent.
