Singer Sam Smith came out as gay in 2014, just before the release of his hit-packed first album “In the Lonely Hour.”
In an interview with The Sunday Times, with his sophomore album “Thrill of it All” soon to be released, the singer has revealed he doesn’t identify as a cisgender man.
“I love a heel,” the singer said, adding that he owned lots of heels at his home.
He also disclosed a moment in his life, for 2 and a half years when he didn’t own any male clothing. He said:
There was one moment in my life where I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really. I would wear full make-up every day in school, eyelashes, leggings with Dr. Martens and huge fur coats – for two and a half years.
“I don’t know what the title would be, but I feel just as much woman as I am man,” he continued.
He also disclosed not coming out earlier than he did, saying he wanted to be appreciated for his talents, not for his sexuality. He said:
I remember, at the beginning of my career, being called a ‘gay singer,’ and I didn’t want that.
I wanted to be seen as a singer first, before people spoke about my private life. And now it’s changed – I’ve changed. I realize that maybe I don’t mind that title.
Looking back on it, it was the fear of saying the wrong thing and offending.
And I was 19 when I started writing the first album. I’d just moved to London from a village – I was literally the only gay in the village. I didn’t know what I wanted to say.

Sigh…
This is called Mental illness. You are either, can’t be both unless you are a hermaphrodite which is also an abnormal condition.
No spirit is as pervasive as the LGBT demon. Mutant humans !
People just dey allow Satan to make dem accept and celebrate every form of perverted behaviour. Soon pple go dey fight for right to sleep with animals and children
How can you feel what you have never been. You have no idea what it is to be woman, neither does any woman know what is is to be a man.
Kai. See what the devil has done to America. Of you ask them now they will say that it is the 21st century, but the word of God is the same throughout eternity.
@ Jane, not every Caucasian is American. Sam Smith isn’t American and I think his comment about moving to London from the village should have let you know that. Secondly, kai can we also address what the devil has done to Africa has a whole. And what is our excuse? The 21st century too?
Another day another Liberal FAGGOT making the news. Another reason I will never ever vote demoncrats or anyone who supports this perversion. Alll LGBTQXYZ need to die a horrible death or decapitated or buried alive
I wish for you a death three hundred and sixteen times more horrible that the one you wish for people who have done nothing to you. Cucking funt!
Calm down liberals fight for causes other than LGBT and abortion. Eg anti racism, equal pay, good health care and other things you as a nigerian might feel are unattainable because you’re used to being hurt facked by useless leaders
He needs tostop eating all those cheap hormone altered chicken.
No surprise at the comments. But I have learned something new today.
Nigerians hatred of queer people is the manifestation of an extreme desire to control others, and to see other people suffer. Its actually a form of misanthropy – a hatred of humanity. Take someone like Sam Smith. People like the commentators above would much prefer to have the opportunity to insult and call this gentle-looking man names, tell him he is acting like a woman, bully him AND have him respond in tears or anger that “I am not like that.” Nigerian men especially – also women in some cases – would prefer to punish him for being different than for him to be enjoying himself with life and quietly saying “you know what, yes I am gay. Yes, I identify with femininity, in fact I’m doing quite well at the moment, got a boyfriend and we’re going to Macau on vacation. Here are the photos” Because once he affirms who he is, you cannot shame him anymore. And ya’ll HATE that, don’t you? Not having the power to abuse and torment somebody with threats, violence, and sermons about hell fire.
That is why I support LGBT rights. Because the people on the other side are so damn resentful.
Thank you!
Bless you Weezy!! Bless you
Im all for live and let live. Freedom of expression hence i do my research. I hate being controlled. Now if you are truly into freedom and you aint no lickle nymph with an itch then read read read. Read agenda 21. Read up tools of population control the media and mind control and chemical alteration without your consent. Read up the Divine order versus new eorld order. Yep its deeeeep folks. Its time people stsrt uding thrir brains instead of genitals to reason. Come on part of being human, walking up right and having dominion over animals is being able to be lead eith our brains not genitals. Im not into high emotions, no need for insults, i aint mad at yall. Get woked folks
The truth at the end of the day is that this is madness.
Check out my name you already know my political views.
However, LGBT is the only individual liberty I don’t 100% agree with.
As for this gender neutrals? What the ____ do you think it entails to be a woman? Because you’re a sofite that sounds like one? Hair and make up??
I don’t fancy when men think they can be a woman just because .
Sorry mate, get Belle, suffer behavioral changes due to estrogen?
Suffer period pain, suffer waist pain. Suffer breast pain.
God says its abominable. And lets be clear God loves his creation and protects us from harms way. The media says its normal. So lets be clear who do you think will lead you astray God the creator of all things or man. Its happened before in a Gardern call Eden.. Man gets led by his greed and lust. The Devils got an easy job.
