The 'Crazy In Love' singer says she believes in equality but doesn't like to label herself.

Beyonce has declared she is a "modern-day feminist" as she spoke to the new edition of British Vogue about equality.

The 'Love On Top' star admitted she never likes to label herself and "loves" being a woman.

"But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality," she revealed. "Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are?

"Why do you have to label yourself anything? I’m just a woman and I love being a woman."

She added: "I do believe in equality and that we have a way to go and it's something that's pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept."

The Destiny's Child star also recently spoke up to voice her opinions on gay rights as she posted a picture on her Tumblr account changing the lyrics to her hit 'Single Ladies'.
