UK-based singer Marina and the Diamonds is tired of pop stars going on about their gay fans, saying it comes across as "contrived."

 

The Welsh-born performer thinks female singers are the worst offenders, and she would rather they talk less and act more when it comes to fighting for equality. In other words: put your money where your mouth is.

 

“When you’re an artist, you giving a shit does not equate to going ‘I love you guys!’ five times a day on Twitter,” she explained. “If you want to do something, you do it in action.

 

“I am always up for supporting anyone who has suffered prejudice or discrimination, and I always will be. But it’s not something I have publicly done a lot of yet. We’ll see. It is important to me, because it makes up a significant part of my fan base.”

 

“Sometimes I feel it’s a little contrived. I hope you can see what I mean by that, in terms of female pop stars going, ‘I love my gay fan base’ – making that a thing. I don’t believe in that. ... I would support that all of my fanbase is equal. I hope I can support straight guys as much as I can teenage girls."

 

She does have a point.
