Therefore, her appearance at the Gala was the KeyTV founder‘s first public one since giving birth. Additionally, she has been vocal about her fluid sexuality and her experiences of being judged for it. During moments of presenting as androgynous or masculine, she met with disdain that leads to “pain and resentment.”

While fighting tears, she continued, “Why did my gender have to define the power I have in the world? And why does my gender get to decide my sexuality? Since I was younger, I always questioned the boxes I was forced to be in and it starts with who you’re supposed to be as a child, you’re supposed to be as a Black person, or whatever the background you are from.”

Keke said that as a woman she has been met with so much disdain. “So often, I lead with masculinity. And as a woman, I’ve always been met with so much disdain, you know what I mean? I think so much of that came from who I thought I had to be to get respect, admiration and love. And I’ve always really wanted to be like my father…to want to be taken seriously and not diminish because I was a woman. You know, that’s always been a source of — I guess you would say — pain and resentment”, said Keke.

Keke Palmer breaks down as she opens up about gender and sexuality

Keke Palmer has been famous for a long time, entertaining audiences since she was a child star. When a celebrity is in the public eye for that long, we think we know almost everything about them. However, the Nope actress recently revealed a very personal part of herself and in the process, may have helped others understand themselves a little better. According to Variety, on Saturday, while accepting the Vanguard Award at the LGBT Center’s The Gala in Los Angeles, Keke discussed her feelings on sexuality and gender identity.

“I’m so grateful to be here today to be embraced by a community that I’ve always felt accepted by and a part of. I’ve always been my person. Sexuality and identity for me have always been confusing,” she said. “I never felt straight enough. I never felt gay enough. And I never felt like a woman enough. I never felt man enough. You know, I always felt like I was a little bit of everything.”

The Password host explained her confusion by noting the differences in the way people treated men and women. She wanted people to see and give respect in a way that women in this world aren’t.

It’s so important for popular artists like Keke to help initiate this conversation. With anti-LGBTQ+ laws sweeping across the country, these kinds of statements will help spread a greater understanding of sexuality and gender identity. It’s not as cut and dry as some politicians like to pretend it is.
