Janelle Monáe Is OUT…And, With New Music and A Show In June To See In Redmond

April 26, 2018• byMichael Strangeways

Rising young singer and actress Janelle Monáe  just came out as “pansexual” in an Rolling Stone interview today. The 32 year old star is also releasing a new album this week and just announced a nationwide tour that will open in the Seattle area on June 11th at Redmond’s Marymoor Park.

From the interview:

“Being a queer black woman in America,” she said, “someone who has been in relationships with both men and women – I consider myself to be a free-ass motherfucker.”

“I read about pansexuality and was like, ‘Oh, these are things that I identify with too.’ I’m open to learning more about who I am.”

Tickets for her Marymoor show go on sale on Wednesday, May 2nd.
