Pop diva Lady GaGa said she is into the gay community and owes her pop success to growing up surrounded by creative gay students and teachers.

Speaking to Out magazine Lady GaGa said she’s not a lesbian but that she is “intrinsically inclined toward a more gay lifestyle.”

Lady GaGa said: “I had a few gay piano teachers. I was in acting class and ballet from a very young age, and I remember being around a lot of gay boys in dance class.

"I myself am not a gay woman- I am a free-spirited woman: I have had boyfriends, and I have hooked up with women, but it's never been like, 'I discovered gayness when I was dot dot dot.'"

The outlandish star also said she owes much of her success to homosexuals.

GaGa explained: “I committed myself to them and they committed themselves to me, and because of the gay community, I'm where I am today.”
