“I’m so inspired by that, and I feel like, for me, that is my connection,” she said. “I’ve never understood, gosh, what does the gay community see in me? You know what I mean? Because again, I grew up around a lot of that and that’s the world that embraced me first, so that I’ve never fully gathered.”
As for the enduring LGBT appeal of her “Dreamgirls” anthem, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” she noted, “A lot of gay men I’ve met, they’re like, ‘In my heart, I am Effie.’ I relate to Effie, and I think that’s part of the connection. It’s a real situation that we all go through.”
Hudson is gearing up for the release of her third studio album, “JHUD,” on Sept. 23.
