Yoko Ono claims that John Lennon had a desire to be in a homosexual relationship, saying in a new interview that the two had discussed the idea of being bisexual.

Speaking to the Daily Beast as she's about to receive an Icon award from Attitude magazine for her longtime championing of LGBT rights, Ono said, "John and I had a big talk about it, saying, basically, all of us must be bisexual.

And we were sort of in a situation of thinking that we're not [bisexual] because of society. So we are hiding the other side of ourselves, which is less acceptable."

"I think he had a desire to, but I think he was too inhibited," Ono said, before quickly backtracking.

"No, not inhibited. He said, 'I don't mind if there's an incredibly attractive guy.' It's very difficult: They would have to be not just physically attractive, but mentally very advanced too. And you can't find people like that.

The beginning of the year he was killed, he said to me, 'I could have done it, but I can't because I just never found somebody that was that attractive.'

Both John and I were into attractiveness — you know — beauty."
