Lady Sovereign Admits She’s Gay

British rapper Lady Sovereign is no longer keeping a big secret, she’s revealed to the world she’s a lesbian. Apparently she wanted to “come out” quite some time ago, but her “people” convinced her not to.

Sovereign has been dodging gay rumors for awhile now, and she fueled reports recently by admitting she enjoyed same-sex trysts during the British reality TV show “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Even though she was advised to be secretive about her sexual preference, she’s ready to come clean, and admit she’s a lesbian.

She tells gay magazine Diva, “Magazines would always ask about it (sexuality) but (they) would get stopped by my publicists. It was my choice, too, because I was a bit worried about it – but now I don’t really give a s**t.

“You can’t hide away forever. It’s just stupid and now I’ve come out I feel a lot more comfortable with myself. But it was a bit scary back then, because some people do have horrible opinions.”

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t find this all to be a huge shock.

Melissa Etheridge Has Split From Tammy Lynn Michaels.

Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels have called it quits after being together for over nine years. The pair staged a commitment ceremony in 2003, and planned to make their union official after authorities in California gave homosexual couples the right to wed in 2008. However just a few months after the rights were given to the famous lesbian couple, the ruling was overturned and they missed the chance to be legally wed.

A representative for Etheridge tells People.com, “Melissa and Tammy Etheridge are saddened to announce that they are now separated,” while a statement from the former couple adds, “We ask for consideration and respect for our family as we go through this difficult period.”

Tammy Lynn Michaels gave birth to the couple’s twins that were conceived via an anonymous sperm donor in 2006, daughter Johnnie, and son Miller. Melissa Etheridge also had two children with her previous partner Julie Cypher, Bailey, 13, and Beckett who is 11.
