A two-year-old interview with Celine Dion by small U.K.-based website Me-me-me.tv -- which, for some reason, is just now making the rounds -- reveals the singer loves a good drag queen, is surrounded by gay colleagues, and wouldn't care at all if her son turns out to be gay.

Check out an excerpt from the interview below:

Have you ever seen a drag queen doing Celine Dion?
Actually, yes. A few. And I work with a lot of gay people as well. And I have to say that we do work pretty well together. I'm somebody who has a strong personality and I'm strong in my gestures and I think they like that from me.

Did you learn anything about yourself from the drag queen?

I'm not trying to really say 'Oh my God, do I do that?' No. I do look at what they do. Actually sometimes they make me laugh backstage, they put my stuff on and they do my gestures, and they try to make me laugh. It works!

Fire them!
You know what, I think gay people know how to have fun! And if you can't have a good time and just play, it's not worth it. You have to have a good time.

And what if your little boy turns out to be one of the boys?
I want him to be successful as a human being. I want my son to be able to talk to me. I'm with him, I wanted that son. If he's a gay person, he's not any less of my son, [and I wouldn't be] any less happy for that.
