vanessa carlton's big gay announcement

she's bi smile

ok, now back to work lol

Singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton openly announced her bisexuality while headlining the Nashville Pride festivities this weekend.

She told the 18,000 people in the audience: "I've never said this before, but I am a proud bisexual woman."

"True Blood" star Anna Paquin also made news with her recent revelation about her own bisexuality. Paquin explained that she "just wanted to do my bit my coming out."

The Grammy-nominated singer, 29, best known for "A Thousand Miles" and "Ordinary Day," had been romantically linked to Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins (who used to date Charlize Theron), but they split a few years ago.

Carlton dedicated a song off her second album -- "Who's to Say?" -- to her gay fans. It's a song about forbidden love, and the lyrics include "And who's to say that we're not good enough? / And who's to say that this is not our love?"

Her fourth album, "Rabbit on the Run", is also coming out. And one of the songs on the LP will be "I Don't Want to be a Bride."

Congrats, Vanessa. That's a brave thing to do.

At the high school where I teach, there were quite a few same-sex couples. It's no big deal in our district.

That was Paula Cole..and before anyone asks, "Is that the chick that sang that Sunny Came Home Song"? That was Shawn Colvin. lol

You know I'd walk a thousand miles to never hear this chick's cloyingly painful vocals ever again.

But I thought THAT was Sarah McLachlan.

But then again, some of these Lilith Fair women sound the same to me.

Yeah it reeks of wanting to fit in. neutral It's like orientation is now being used to sell records when it shouldn't even be like that. Though I'm sure when Anna Paquin came out it wasn't due to wanting people to see her film IDK
