i mean have you seen girls?

How can anyone see something this beautiful and think it’s wrong?

Singer Janelle Monáe came out in a new interview with Rolling Stone, published today. The singer’s sexuality has long been a source of speculation, especially regarding her relationship with actress Tessa Thompson. She told the magazine she has been in relationships with men and women, and identifies with aspects of pansexuality and bisexuality. “I’m open to learning more about who I am,” she said. Per Rolling Stone:

I love you! 

Bisexuality is good. Being bi is good. Identifying as bi is good. 

There is no “good” or “bad” way to be bi. 

You are not dirty, wrong, impure, bad, or fake for identifying as bi. 

Your identity is pure, whole, and important. 

You are not “half” of anything. 

You don’t have to date anyone or have romantic/sexual experiences to wholly identify as bi. You are just as bi as bi girls who’ve dated people before. 

Whether you are in the closet or decide to come out, your decisions with respect to how you identify are entirely up to you and can’t be dictated by anyone else.

Bi women pursing/dating/engaged/married to women can do that Because they are bi! Being bi isn’t always a stepping stone and the bi women who continue to identify as bi while dating women aren’t hindering themselves or leaving themselves open to dating men in the future.

I am attracted to men but I don’t want to date them.

I am attracted to men but I don’t want to do anything with them or when I’m about to do something my attraction to them goes away.

I am attracted to fictional men or male celebrities, or any other guy who is “unavailable/unattainable".

I will find a guy eventually! I’m just a late bloomer.

I don’t like kissing my boyfriend or I’m not attracted to him, but it must just be because he’s not the one for me [or some other excuse].

I don’t find guys attractive, but I probably will when I get older/go to college/etc! or I don’t find guys attractive, what’s wrong with me? (including pretending to find certain guys or guys in general attractive around others)

Everyone must feel attraction to girls or think that girls are hot, the way I feel towards other girls is normal for straight girls! (or thinking that other kinds of sexual/romantic feelings/fantasies towards girls is normal for straight girls or is just a “girl crush”)

I’m too young/busy/etc to have a boyfriend.

I just have high standards, that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend.

I like [f/f couple(s)] but just as an ally. (or some other excuse)

I like boys but it’s just not as much as other girls seem to.

I like [girl] but just platonically! But not as much as I like boys! or I would date [girl] if she was a guy!

The reason my relationships with men don’t work out is because I’m just bad at relationships. (or some other personal fault)
