Love Is Love, Life Is Life: Actress Keke Palmer On Sexual Fluidity
November 10, 2022Actress Keke Palmer has opened up about her sexuality during a recent podcast appearance, explaining she is “definitely in the middle of the scale.”
As LGBTQ Nation writes, during a conversation on the podcast, WHOREible Decisions, Palmer said she has not been in a relationship with a woman but “I’m definitely even across the board.”
“I feel like love is love, life is life,” she said.
Palmer also said she “likes girl-on-girl porn because it is nice and beautiful” and she enjoys “the delicacies of the arrangement […] I don’t like all that rough stuff.”
If a woman were to hit on her, she’d want her to “do it with touch.”
“I’m cool with if a girl is making a move and she is trying to get me into the vibe. I’m cool with her being like ‘stop‘ and hugging me for no reason because I’m like ‘I know what that means, you held my hand a little bit too long.’ With girls, that’s a level of aggression I’m cool with.”
Palmer recently played the character of Izzy in Pixar’s Lightyear, which features a same-sex kiss. Because of this, the film was banned in 14 countries. In June, Palmer said that kids would love the LGBTQ+ inclusion in the film. “Young kids today and the kids that will be coming after them, just to have this in the atmosphere, it just continues to normalize what’s always been there,” she said. “And it just shows the representation of what our world has always looked like.”
She also praised the inclusion of women of color in the film.
Palmer – who became famous playing the titular character in Akeelah and the Bee as a child actress in 2006 – has been out for a long time, but it seems people keep forgetting she is part of the queer community. She has been open about her sexuality for years, after coming out as fluid in a 2015 music video for her song, “I Don’t Belong to You.”
In 2019, she spoke to Pride Source about coming out. “I think the kind of energy of the culture of L.A., or Hollywood, is that it’s OK to be yourself and that it’s OK to experience things and find who you are.”
“So, I didn’t feel like I needed someone to look to in order to be comfortable with that, but at the same time I think it was more so being comfortable with myself as opposed to me looking outwardly for comfort. It was just kind of me saying, ‘OK, it’s not a big deal; this is who I am and I can be who I wanna be and date who I wanna date,’ and it was just being more relaxed about all of that.”
