While singer Kehlani geared up for her 23rd birthday, she decided to let her fans in on a little treat: revealing her sexuality.
In a series of tweets (which are now deleted), Kehlani came out in possibly the most amazing way ever.
“cuz i keep geddin asked.. i’m queer. not bi, not straight. i’m attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non binary people, intersex people, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hello good morning. does that answer your questions?”, she wrote.
YES GIRL.
She continued, “and since we on that… i’m the LEAST attracted to straight men, y’all really adorable sometimes tho. bisexual men really are little gifts from god tho.”
So why did she delete the tweets? Well she gave us an explanation on that too.
“i retracted my queer tweet because i am being corrected about the way in which i listed the gender spectrum and i’m super sensitive to being offensive especially when i’m only trying to appreciate. point is, i love love, and that love lies in every gender there is. “
“i always want to be corrected & educated when i am wrong. if i tweet something any form of incorrect, please let me know because i have a massive responsibility by having a platform.”
When a fan asked her why she uses the word ‘queer’ instead of ‘gay’, she revealed that: “i felt gay always insisted there was still a line drawn as to which ‘label’ of human i was attracted when i really jus be walking around thinking ERRYBODY FINE”
While she received some backlash, fans rallied behind her for support.
“You’re absolutely incredible,” one fan wrote. Another, “Can more famous people be like her?”
It comes only a few weeks after she and Demi Lovato kissed on stage during one of Demi’s shows, sending fans into a meltdown.
Happy for you bb girl. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
