Friday singer Rebecca Black comes out as queer nearly 10 years after viral hit

Friday singer Rebecca Black has proudly come out as queer.

Rebecca, now 22, rose to fame overnight in 2011 when the music video for her hit Friday went viral on YouTube.

Now she's told that she identifies as queer, but is hesitant to specifically label her sexuality because her feelings change.

During an interview with the Dating Straight podcast, she told co-hosts Jack Dodge and Amy Ordman that she's been through a breakup with a woman.

"I made a conscious to not, like, 'come out,'" she revealed, "People started asking and I stopped not responding.

"I'm still in the process, it feels like."

Rebecca's currently on lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic - and told that she feels differently every day while housebound.

"It's like, f**king quarantine, every day is different," Rebecca added, "It's something that over the past few years I've obviously been having a lot of conversations with myself.

"I think, to me, the word 'queer' feels really nice. I've dated a lot of different types of people.

"I don't really know what the future holds. Some days I feel a little more on the gay side than others."

Rebecca later continued: "I definitely see sexuality as being on a spectrum.

"You can definitely be on one end of the spectrum or the other. With there being a spectrum, there is this huge middle ground.

"I definitely see myself as being on that spectrum."

Rebecca rocketed to fame at the age of 13, after the online release of the video for Friday.
