Singer Lady Gaga refused commenting upon online speculation regarding her gender, following several photos being published on some forums showing her in unfavorable light.

However, she denied such rumours, saying, “At first it was very strange. But, in a sense, I portray myself in a very androgynous way. I like pushing boundaries.”

The star, 23, disclosed that she is bisexual: “I have had sexual relationships with women. But I’ve only been in love with men. That was really what Poker Face was all about. Why, when I was with my boyfriend, was I fantasizing about women?”

The singer, acknowledges that her stage character caused certain conflicts with her family, declaring, “It wasn’t really so easy for my dad. We didn’t talk for months after the first time he saw me play. My mother told me that he was afraid I was mentally unstable.”
