Selena questioned her sexuality, talks falling for a gay guy
Quote:
Gomez covered even more gay ground during the revealing chat. When asked whether her gay BFFs get jealous of the hotties she's dated -- Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner -- the "Same Old Love" singer admitted just how much they get a kick out of her love life.
"Oh gosh, they’re more into it than I am. Honestly!" she said. "Part of the reason I probably went out on a few dates is because of them. They’re just like, 'Go! Go!' I’m like, 'No!' They’re all about it, for sure."
Do her gay friends ever hook her up with these fellas?
"All the time," she admitted. "Whoever I’m with or like or don’t like, they’re all about dissecting it and putting me with other people."
Have you ever questioned your sexuality?
Oh, I think everybody does, no matter who they are. I do, yeah, of course. Absolutely. I think it's healthy to gain a perspective on who you are deep down, question yourself and challenge yourself; it's important to do that.
Have you ever dated or fallen for a gay man?
Honestly, I don't have that story, but two of my best friends do and it's very "Will and Grace"-like, which I love. But no, I haven't actually experienced it - wait, maybe that's not fair to say. Maybe I won't know? Maybe I don't know? (Laughs) I just thought about that. Oh my gosh. I'm thinking about my whole life now.

"they're into it more than I am", and who is this friend she's talking about?

Kind of homophobic that she felt the need to talk about gay people in such a way to promote her album.

The interesting parts from the full article if someone's interested.
She didnt left Justin out. They just asked her separately about Nick after.
Quote:
Growing up in Grand Prairie, Texas, what was your introduction to the gay community?
You have to understand: My mother is absolutely fantastic and she worked at a modeling agency when I was a very young girl, so every Sunday I would have brunch with her and all of her gays, and I just remember a lot of mimosas. It was the best. So, I've been around it my whole life and, you know, I love it. I have to tell you: On my 16th birthday my mom had a bunch of drag queens come out and they sang "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" and it was sooo funny.
As someone raised Catholic, accepting the LGBT community was never an issue for you then?
Not at all. Look: There's a huge difference in how I was brought up; the word "religion" is a very complex thing. It's something you have to follow, and that's not what faith is. Anybody who has a higher power, anybody who has anything they believe in: If you don't know how to love other people, I don't believe in it. It doesn't work that way.
Have you ever met a Selena Gomez drag queen?
Yes! I had one who did one of the viral videos of "Love You Like a Love Song" (Willam Belli's "Love You Like a Big Schlong"). (She) did a nasty version of it, which was hysterical, and I went to the Logo NewNowNext Awards and I got to meet her, which was amazing. Honestly, I feel like that's when I made it - genuinely! I emailed it to my mom and she emailed it and CC'd everybody.
You say Selena drag queens were the true measure of success for you. But isn't it true that you're not truly famous until you've been the subject of a gay rumor? And last year, the tabloids had a field day with photos of you and Cara Delevingne.
I've made it!
Have you ever questioned your sexuality?
Oh, I think everybody does, no matter who they are. I do, yeah, of course. Absolutely. I think it's healthy to gain a perspective on who you are deep down, question yourself and challenge yourself; it's important to do that.
Your friend Demi Lovato played a lesbian on "Glee," starring as Naya Rivera's love interest. Who would you choose as an onscreen lesbian love interest?
That's a long list! Suki Waterhouse - she's a model; she was Bradley Cooper's girlfriend.
As a performer, when were you first aware you had an LGBT following?
My first single was when I was 16 and that went to No. 1 on the Dance Club charts so that was my introduction. I don't think people really knew me, so I don't know if it was a following necessarily, but once I hit "Love You Like a Love Song" status, that's really when I started realizing it. And it was the best!
My concerts used to be little kids, and then seeing the entire front row being all these guys who were wearing neon T-shirts and just losing their minds - it's incredible. And then you see the jocks in the other corner throwing their boxers on stage. It's like, "Oh gosh." It's amazing.
You say "oh gosh" like it's a problem.
(Laughs) Well, it is a little bit; come on.
Do you keep your gay fans in mind when you create music, particularly with "Revival"?
Absolutely. One-hundred percent. Even with my earlier stuff, I've always tapped into it, and at the end of the day I'm a full-on pop artist, so I wanted the tracks to be incredible because I know how important that is. But on top of that, having the lyrics be equally as important was something I needed to do for this album. I think it just kind of came together really well. I spent a year on it and I poured everything I had into this album, and I was thinking of everyone. I was thinking of my diehard fans from everywhere.
Have you ever dated or fallen for a gay man?
Honestly, I don't have that story, but two of my best friends do and it's very "Will and Grace"-like, which I love. But no, I haven't actually experienced it - wait, maybe that's not fair to say. Maybe I won't know? Maybe I don't know? (Laughs) I just thought about that. Oh my gosh. I'm thinking about my whole life now.
Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, Taylor Lautner. Aesthetically speaking, you have good taste in men. How jealous do your gay guy friends get of the people you've dated?
Oh gosh, they're more into it than I am. Honestly! Part of the reason I probably went out on a few dates is because of them. They're just like, "Go! Go!" I'm like, "No!" They're all about it, for sure.
So your gay friends are your matchmakers?
All the time. Whoever I'm with or like or don't like, they're all about dissecting it and putting me with other people.
It must be fascinating for you to see Nick Jonas become such a gay icon. His outreach... his underwear pics...
And his (gay) characters that he's been playing! "Scream Queens" and the other show, "Kingdom," which I thought was super rad. We actually talked about it at dinner one time. He's incredible, and I think it's amazing. I've known him for years - we were 14 when we met - so it's crazy, because I actually knew him at a different time in his life. Now, to see him have this amazing perspective on life is awesome. I'm really proud of him.
Are you surprised by the way he's connected with the gay community?
Yeah, for sure! Not in a bad way, but I was like, "Thank you." It was kind of incredible for somebody to step out of their zone for a minute. It's really incredible to see what he's done.
It's incredible to not really be in a judgmental place and to really let down all of your guards. I just think you have to really let go, and you do have to find this in your heart. He clearly has had a love and compassion for everyone, and I think that's great.
You've credited Taylor Swift as not just a friend but someone you admire. How often do you and her shake it off at the gay clubs?
Oh my gosh - how chic! And all the time. Taylor and I literally will have mini dance parties with all of her dancers who are 100 percent gay (laughs) - and it's the best feeling ever! It is so fun, and we just lose our minds.
So wherever you and Taylor are, it's always a gay club? Even in her apartment?
Yeah, in New York! On tour! Backstage! The whole thing.
