“Janelle Monáe has revealed that she was “terrified” over what others would think of her after coming out as pansexual.

The 33-year-old singer spoke about her sexuality for the first time in an interview with Rolling Stone last April.

In a cover story for LGBT+ community-driven magazine them, Monáe said she was “terrified” and worried people would think it was a publicity stunt.

“I had anxiety. And a lot of it was just untrue,” the singer explained to rapper Lizzo in the interview for them. “I’m thankful that I didn’t allow that fear to get in the way of my freedom.”

While speaking about her new album, Dirty Computer, Monáe noted that being a black woman can often make coming out even more difficult.

“To be young, queer, and black in America means that you can be misunderstood,” she said. “I just hope we can get to a point where black women who don’t identify as strictly heterosexual are normalised.”

Signs that you probably like girls (for young wlw and questioning wlw): 

You overwhelmingly prefer spending time with girls and feel more comfortable in their presence. 

You pay a lot of attention to female celebrities. 

You project feelings onto male celebrities and male characters that female characters you like are in romantic relationships with. 

You use gender neutral pronouns to refer to a crush. 

You read LGBT works or watch LGBT works out of “curiosity”. 

You think of yourself as a very invested ally but often get asked if you yourself are gay because of the magnitude of your allyship. 

You get extremely uncomfortable when friends and family make homophobic remarks, as if they are personally insulting you. 

You gravitate toward the out LGBT people around you. 

You find yourself forcing feelings of attraction toward girls down or rationalizing those feelings with all sorts of reasons (”I don’t like girls, I’m just going through a phase” or “I’m only thinking this because no boys talk to me/no boys like me” or “I just admire her fashion” or “I just really want to be her friend”). 

You feel guilty and ashamed about the feelings of attraction that you pretend don’t exist. 

You flinch when people talk about the “college bisexual phase” or “the bicurious phase” (this really applies to bisexual women). 

You don’t truly like male celebrities but you name a token one to appease people (this really applies to lesbians). 

You cannot envision yourself in a long-term relationship with a man, you feel uncomfortable at the thought of being with one, or you feel scared about engaging in any sort of intimacy with one (this really applies to lesbians). 

You think of yourself as “heteroflexible” or as “experimenting” or “curious” (this applies to bisexual women quite frequently but it also applies to lesbians). 

You continually rewatch scenes of f/f romance or intimacy that you’ve seen on television or in movies. 

You find yourself replacing pronouns in songs or listening to music written and sung by openly gay female artists. 

You try and read f/f works out of “curiosity”. 

You feel personally affronted or scared when you witness out wlw near you getting targeted by homophobia. 

If you’re looking up “am I gay?” or “how do I know if I like girls” on google or on youtube, trust me: you like girls. 

You feel like you have to date a boy just to along with everyone else dating a boy (this applies to lesbians quite frequently but it also applies to bisexual women). 

You may be in a relationship with a boy but feel dissatisfied or find your attention settling on girls anyway (this really applies to lesbians). 

You may genuinely like boys and get attracted to them which confuses you when you also get attracted to girls, and you find yourself denying that you like girls because you also like boys (this really applies to bisexual women).
