Lauren Jauregui Talks Dating Beyond the Gender Binary
"...at the end of the day, we’re all just humans and if we’re attracted to each other, we’re just attracted to each other."
In a recent interview with Nylon Magazine, bisexual popstar and Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui opened up about how the gender identity of whoever she's dating doesn't really matter to her.
"I’ve learned so much, even about the gender binary since I came out as bisexual, and I’m sure that I could fall in love with anyone as long as their soul was genuine. That’s all that really matters to me. I don’t care about the physical," Jauregui told the fashion publication. "I care about your trauma and shit, and if you’re projecting that shit on to me. But that’s really it, because, at the end of the day, we’re all just humans and if we’re attracted to each other, we’re just attracted to each other. So, I just explore that fluidity all the time."
Jauregui, who is currently working on her own solo debut album, also spoke about how her philosophy on dating without the restrictions of the gender binary is reflected in her music.
"Most of the songs actually don’t even allude to boy or girl, they’re just you that I’m talking to. Because it doesn’t matter. Especially when it comes to love, it really doesn’t fucking matter."
She continued:
"Make all the love you want with whoever the fuck you want. Why are you gonna waste your time hating yourself ‘cause of who you like or who you wanna fuck? You might not even like them, you might just wanna fuck them, and that’s fine!"
