Annie Lennox thinks being gay would have made life easier; has new Christmas album

”It’s not like I think being gay could be an alternative ’cos it isn’t. I sometimes wished it would have been ’cos it could have made life easier.”

Express UK reports that she is twice divorced, and she thinks nearly all women find relations with men disappointing. However, she emphatically insists that she still loves the company of men.
