U.K. electronic music duo Disclosure’s Howard Lawrence has confessed he still makes the odd slip up over pal Sam Smith’s gender pronouns.<\/p>\n

Last year, Sam opened up about their gender in a candid social media post, revealing they’re gender non-binary and prefer to identify with “they\/them” pronouns. <\/p>\n

Sam’s candour when it comes to their gender has been met with a positive response from fans. However, longtime collaborator Lawrence told the Daily Star that he and older brother Guy have been guilty of reverting to “he\/him” during chats with their friend. <\/p>\n

“We’ve occasionally said ‘he’ a couple of times,” Lawrence revealed.<\/p>\n

He noted: “We’ve spoken to Sam about it, and they understand that occasionally we’ll get it wrong along the way.”<\/p>\n

But Lawrence stressed the importance of trying to say the correct pronouns and correct any misspoken terms.<\/p>\n

“It’s an important thing to get it right,” he professed, adding: “It’s no skin off my nose to get it right.” <\/p>\n

The dance music star, who released new album Energy last Friday, said using the right terms mattered to him as it showed respect for his friend. <\/p>\n

“It takes no effort, and yet it makes such a big difference to Sam and people like them when we show them that respect,” he declared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
