Billie Eilish is physically attracted to women, but also so intimidated by them
During an interview on the red carpet, Eilish was asked if she had planned to come out in the cover article published in November. Her response was, "No, I didn't. But I kind of thought, Wasn't it obvious?" She stated that she didn't realize people didn't know, and expressed her belief in simply existing without the need for labels or public announcements. She acknowledged that she had been keeping it to herself for a long time and admitted, "Whoops."
"I read the article and thought, Oh, it seems like I came out today. Alright, that's exciting for me because I suppose people didn't know before, but it's cool that they do now," she expressed. "I am supportive of the girls," she added.
In the Variety article, Eilish talked to journalist Katcy Stephan about how she relates to other women.

Billie Eilish responds to criticism of her embracing a more feminine style
"I've never felt like I could connect with girls very easily," she explained. "I have a deep love for them. I appreciate them as individuals. I am genuinely drawn to them."
"I have strong bonds with the women in my life, both friends and family," Eilish shared. "I'm drawn to them physically, but I also feel intimidated by their beauty and presence."
However, Eilish later took to Instagram to criticize Variety for their red carpet interview.
"Thank you to variety for the award, but I wish they had focused on more important things instead of putting me on the red carpet at 11 am," she wrote. "I'm attracted to both boys and girls, so please stop making a big deal out of it. It's really not important."
