Kehlani embraces herself wholeheartedly.
The superstar — who uses she/they pronouns — appears in the latter Stylecaster digital cover rocking a tailored pinstripe suit and full of glam make-up, complete with a moustache. The “Honey” singer has long been an open book about their sexuality, but in the publication's interview, she says she would have opened up sooner.
“It's dope to see people now who are in this fluidity and people of this expression being able to exist and make music and everything being celebrated. …The younger me probably would have come to terms more quickly with my non-binary identity and the way I present,” they shared.
As a result, Kehlani will continue to live authentically. “I will be strong,” he said. “And if it rocks, it rocks.”
In 2018, Kehlani came clean about their sexuality to fans. “Because I keep getting asked by Geddin.. I'm queer,” she said at the time. “Neither bi, nor straight. I'm attracted to women, men, REALLY attracted to queer men, non-binary, intersex, trans people. lil poly pansexual papi hi good morning. does that answer your questions?”
When asked why she chooses to use the word “queer” instead of “gay,” Kehlani explained, “I felt as a gay person I always insisted that there was still a line as to what 'label' of man I was attracted to when I was actually walking around the thought. ERRRYBODY FINE.”
