Pink is gay
Youcan’ttake Pink home ... and you also can’t make her put a label on her sexuality.
That’s what the pop star, who is currently promoting her new album, “Beautiful Trauma,” told The Guardian in a recent interview.
The singer, who married motorcycle racer Carey Hart in 2006, has faced rumors about her sexual self since she first hit the charts nearly two decades ago. But she’s never let external pressure force her to be anyone other than exactly who she is.
“I think people favor Miley [Cyrus]… I feel like people are just less inclined to be labelled now, which I really like,” she said, referencing Cyrus coming out as pansexual and gender neutral in recent years. “That’s where I was always coming from. Just, leave it alone. I just wanna live my life. I don’t need you to put me in a box or to figure me out or to figure out what I am. Cos I don’t realize yet... And I never say never...”
In 2012 Pink told The Advocate that she was “an honorary lesbian of Los Angeles” when she first moved to the metropolis. “I wasn’t homosexual, but all my girlfriends were,” she added. As pleasant as she was with her honorary title at the time, she told the magazine that she pushed help against a t

Pop music's wild child: Pink performs a concert as part of her Truth About Love tour at the Forum in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday
Appearing on the cover in a sheer corseted top - a pair of latex X's covering her modesty - and with her hair coiffed in her trademark blonde and pink Mohawk, Pink continues to defy mainstream music's idealisation of the pretty little pop star.
And the singer, speaking to writer Diane Anderson-Minshall, says she feels no need to specify herself.
'I’ve never felt the need to. I still don’t. It’s just like how everyone's like, "Well, what kind of music do you do?"’ And I’m like, "I don’t. I just do it."

You might be familiar with the six-colored rainbow flag that is widely used to represent the Queer community. But did you know that this is a relatively new rendition of the original?
The imaginative flag (shown here) was designed by activist, veteran, drag queen, and musician, Gilbert Baker, and made its debut at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day March in 1978. He was inspired by the Rolling Stones song She’s a Rainbow, and the 1960s hippies movement, assigning each color with a specific meaning:
Pink: Sex (later removed)
Red: Life
Orange: Healing
Yellow: Sunlight
Green: Nature
Turquoise: Magic (later removed)
Indigo: Serenity
Violet: Spirit
The evolution to the six-colored flag used today happened out of practicality.
After the parade in 1978, demand for the Self-acceptance Flag increased, but the hot pink fabric was difficult to find in large quantities. Then, the Paramount Flag Company started making a version out of the standard rainbow colors to help assemble demand, and a seven-color pride flag was the new norm.
A year later, the flag evolved once more…

Rainbow Flag
The rainbow flag has turn into the easily-recognized colors of pride for the gay collective. The rainbow plays a part in many myths and stories related to gender and sexuality issues in Greek, Aboriginal, African, and other cultures. Utilize of the rainbow flag by the gay community began in 1978 when it first appeared in the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Afternoon Parade. Borrowing symbolism from the hippie movement and dark civil rights groups, San Francisco designer Gilbert Baker planned the rainbow flag in response to a need for a symbol that could be used year after year. The flag has six stripes, each color representing a component of the community: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, royal cobalt for harmony, and violet for spirit.
The rainbow flag has inspired a large variety of associated symbols and accessories, such as liberty rings. There are plenty of variations of the flag, including versions with superimposed lambdas, pink triangles, or other symbols. Some recent flags have added a brown and black stripe as a reminder of how important the intersectio
