Janelle Monae Discusses Gay Rumors
Well, not really.
“The lesbian community has tried to claim me,” she tells Rolling Stone magazine. “But I only date androids. Nothing like an android—they don’t cheat on you.”
For those wondering why she chooses to dress the way she does, Monáe has a perfectly good explanation. “I call it my ‘uniform,’” she says. “My mother was a janitor and my father collected trash, so I wear a uniform, too.”
She hopes her original look will inspire other women to embrace their individuality. “I’m trying to open doors for girls who look like myself and have been told they can’t sing about this or that.” [Rap-Up]
The gay community has also tried to claim me, but I only date waffle irons and German Shepherds.
For some of you, this may seem like a ridiculous response to the gossip, but Janelle actually supplied that a*s with an intelligent and clever counter-attack. It should not matter what her sexual orientation is, what kind of clothes she wears, or why her hair looks like a fluffy torpedo. She is a talented new artist with a, decidedly, individual approach. That should be commended—not everyone has to wear stilettos, lacefronts, and five dollar foot-long eyelashes.
Besides, addressing gay rumors can often be a set-up. If one denies being gay, he/she might upset or annoy the gay community; if that person admits to being gay, they might upset the Christians, Republicans, and DL rappers. That doesn’t stop most celebrities from tossing the rainbow out a window and washing their hands clean, but it does seem very appropriate to let people think what they want (they are going to anyway) and focus on the music—that should be all that matters.

LOL @ “five dollar foot-long eyelashes”. Great line.
I really hope that Janelle Monae gets the recognition and success that I think she deserves. She is an innovative and captivating performer whose obvious talent shines through. Definitely a head above the game.
Eye lashes…LMAO. Less celebrity posts, and more info about Jordan release dates instead.
Diddy needs to be shot for over promoting his self but not promoting her the right way
Her music speaks for itself regarding the whole gay not gay thing. I dont think shes gay tho….

Whatever happen to all the rumors that Alicia Keys was gay and before her that Jada Pinkett? See, it could easily be wrong and it doesn’t matter anyway.
She could be a lesbian or asexual, on her website she has an advertisement that says voodoo halloween weekend, but the v is and upside dwn triangle. Lesbians symbols pink upside down triangle, while asexual use the AVEN triangle which is also upsdie down. Asexuals also wear black rings on their middle fingers (right hand). Dnt believe me look it up!
