Keke Palmer Reminds People That Yes, She's Queer

The Queen Keke Palmer is once again opening up about her sexuality.

While visiting Raven-Symoné and her wife Miranda Maday on their podcast The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda, Palmer talked about how she spent years repressing her sexuality.

“There was a moment in my life where I was like ya know, can I be myself? The moment where you overthink sh*t,” she said. “That's not even me, why am I overthinking this? I guess you just get to the point where I want my life to be my own.”

At first, Palmer didn’t act out on her attraction to girls because she didn’t want her family to know, but around age 17, she couldn’t hide it any more.

“There is like an unsaid thing that can make you feel — and because I liked guys too, I was kinda like, ‘Well, we don’t have to talk about it,'” she explained. “Because I like guys too, it was like that’s another extra thing that no one really has to know about. I don’t really have to live out.”

“I ultimately just feel like the acceptance of that part of myself, in general, was a part of my process of being able to have love in my life,” she continued.

“Sexuality and stuff like that, that was not even – my parents never even cared about something like that or talked about that,” she said. “And I know that by the time they saw how free of a spirit I was, and whoever I wanted to date, they were like ‘Whoever cares.’ It was never anything that was in their mind.”

Palmer could be open to finding a new partner, as the father of her baby, Darius Jackson, recently shamed her for wearing a sexy dress while being a mother.

Back in 2015, Palmer released the music video for her song “I Don’t Belong to You,” in which she ends up with a woman played by Cassie. Shortly after, she opened up about her real-life sexuality.
