"I loved my little girlfriends and we kissed and we had a great time and we held hands," the 33-year-old singer recalls to the Advocate. "When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was a honorary lesbian of Los Angeles. I wasn’t gay, but all my girlfriends were. So no, it wasn’t a big deal for me, but when [a tabloid] comes out and says I just said I was bisexual, it’s like, 'What? That wasn’t my truth,' and I like truth. I like absolute truth."

Pink adds that her strongest friendships are with lesbians, and she appreciates all the "loyal love" she receives from the gay community.

"I've had a lot of my gay boys around, but my gay girls are my rootstalk. They're my honesty in an ocean of bullshit. I should be gay by the way that I look and the way that I am. I just happen to not be. But it just makes perfect and complete sense."
