Mariah Carey, who will be welcoming her little bundle of joy within the next month, is opening up to The Advocate about her thoughts on having a gay child.

As for the possibility of having a gay son or daughter, Nick Cannon's pregnant wife tells the mag:

"I guess we'd handle it as best we could in terms of being supportive. ... I just hope for whoever's going to be happy and that I can be a great mother to. The thing is that you can't try to make somebody something they're not.

Everybody's like, “Oh, if she has a girl, everything's going to be pink, blah, blah, blah.” But I don't think you should go totally overboard on that. You should wait and see what the child wants."

Mariah, who is enjoying the success of her latest holiday album Merry Christmas II You, is also addressing the rumors that she's bisexual. The 41-year-old singer adds:

"If it makes somebody happy to say that, then whatever, but that's not the reality. I don't have a discriminatory policy of who I'm friends with, so yes, I'm friends with women who are gay - gay, straight, it doesn't matter to me. So I don't get upset when I hear that, because it is what it is. I guess I could lie about it to seem more exciting."

Way to keep it real, Ms. Carey!
