Singer Vanessa Carlton comes out as bisexual

Singer Vanessa Carlton is the latest celebrity to announce that she’s bisexual. True Blood’s Anna Paquin made an announcement in a public service message for the “Give a Damn” campaign that she was bisexual, and Cameron Diaz hinted that she was bisexual in a recent interview, saying that “If I’m going to be with a woman sexually, it doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian.” Carlton, 29, made the announcement during a concert at the Nashville Pride Festival that she was “a proud bisexual woman.” Good for her!

Taking a page out of the Anna Paquin book, Vanessa Carlton has gone public with her bisexuality, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Headlining the Nashville Pride concert Saturday, Carlton announced from the stage, “I’ve never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman.”

Paquin, the True Blood star who is engaged to her costar Stephen Moyer, made a similar public declaration as part of a gay rights PSA April 1.

Carlton, who is best-known for her hits A Thousand Miles and Ordinary Day, was once linked romantically to John Mayer.

I’m not too familiar with Carlton, but of course I’ve heard A Thousand Miles and Ordinary Day. I have a lot of respect for her for speaking out. A lot people believe the stereotypes about bisexual people being oversexed, but some people just are attracted to both sexes and can fall in love with either gender. It doesn’t make them less discriminatory. The stereotypes do make it harder for bisexual young people to feel comfortable with themselves. The more celebrities talk about their bisexuality, the more it loses whatever stigma it may have.
