'The Howard Stern Show', June 9th, 2000: Singer Sinéad O'Connor came in to promote her new CD ''Faith & Courage'' and Howard wanted to talk to her about the fresh newspaper headlines that said Sinéad is a lesbian. Sinéad really didn't want to talk about that much though. Sinéad told Howard that she'd done an interview with the lesbian magazine 'Curve' and they were the ones who put out a press release saying that she had come out of the closet as a lesbian. She said it was ''wicked'' of 'Curve' to do something like that without even consulting her about it. She said that she has always had issues hanging over her and her music and she didn't want that to happen with the new album. Howard kept bringing up those newspaper headlines and she finally started talking about that. She said that she had a problem with it because her home country of Ireland is a very homophobic place. She said that is still an issue with her but she has tried to overcome that. She said she adores men and her best friends are men but she prefers to make love to women. She said she can relate to making love to them better. She also said that she's chosen not to be with anyone at this time. She's concentrating on her career right now. At one point in the interview, Howard was getting on her nerves and she said that guys like him "make you want to be with women."
