Janelle Monae dances around lesbian question
”The lesbian community has tried to claim me. But I only date androids. Nothing like an android — they don’t cheat on you…. I’m trying to open doors for girls who look like myself and have been told they can’t sing about this or that.”
Janell Monáe, 24, speaking with Rolling Stone magazine about her second album ”The ArchAndroid.” Some speculation about her sexuality has occured due to nonconformist approach and her far out sense of style. (Rolling Stone)
