First of all, why the hell didn’t I know Janelle Monae and Tessa Thompson were gay? And second of all, why the hell didn’t anyone tell me they were dating (yes, Tumblr gays I’m looking at you!)
I mean, look at this cute shit!
I’ve always had a feeling about these two. good to know they found each other

Im so so so so happy for them. Janelle always avoided the sexuality questions during interviews but I always knew and felt her music to be explicitly reflective of a queer identity. Some were more poetic like the android being in a “forbidden love” with a human man, others more explicit with lyrics like: “Am I a freak because I love watching Mary? (Maybe)
Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven?
Say will your God accept me in my black and white?
Will he approve the way I’m made? ”
