Lady Gaga may not
be a He-She, but she sure is having fun with the rumors.
The playful pop star, whose
lady-ness was affirmed by her manager earlier this month, poses nude in the
September issue of Out magazine, showing off almost all of her, well, lady
parts.
She also stands up for her gay
fans. Talking about her upcoming, co-headlining tour with Kanye West, Gaga
relayed to Out what she told the rapper/producer:
“I just want to be clear
before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay.
And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be
coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay.”
Gaga herself remains
100-percent woman, a fact that required reiteration after an up-skirt photo
sparked rumors that she’s a hermaphrodite. The photo, taken from a video shot at
England’s Glastonbury festival, revealed a bulge between Gaga’s legs — a bulge
that could have been caused by undergarments, a bad angle, or, as some blogs
suggested, a penis.
Bossip.com alleged that
Gaga said this when asked about the subject: “It’s not something that
I’m ashamed of, just isn’t something that I go around telling everyone. Yes. I
have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female. It’s just
a little bit of a penis and really doesn’t interfere much with my life. The
reason I haven’t talked about it is that it’s not a big deal to me.
“Like, come
on. It’s not like we all go around talking about our v***. I think this is a
great opportunity to make other multiple gendered people feel more comfortable
with their bodies. I’m sexy, I’m hot. I have both a **** and a p*****. Big
f******g deal.”
When ABCNews.com asked Gaga’s
manager if the “Poker Face” singer is a hermaphrodite and if she said
the above quote, he replied:
“This is completely
ridiculous.”
