3.Björk has been talking about being bisexual since the early 2000s
She told Diva magazine in 2004: "I think everyone’s bisexual to some degree or another; it’s just a question of whether or not you choose to recognize it and embrace it. Personally, I think choosing between men and women is like choosing between cake and ice cream."

I’ve never lost it, actually."
9.Lady Gaga has also always been open about her bisexuality.
