Former Christian singer Nicole Serrano comes out as a lesbian and non-binary
Former Christian singer Nicole Serrano has come out as non-binary and a lesbian. Since debuting on the Christian music scene, Serrano has seen massive success within the genre.
From working with popular artists like Chris Tomlin to having their tracks featured in shows like Grey’s Anatomy and The Kardashians, the 33-year-old built a reputation within the Christian entertainment industry.
However, amongst her rising success, Serrano grappled with her sexuality and gender identity. In a recent interview with The Advocate, the young talent -who goes by she/they pronouns – revealed that they started their coming-out journey five years ago by going to therapy. “I just slowly started to realise like, OK, there’s a lot of holes in this whole like, church thing,” she explained. “First of all, who was making the rules?
Why are they making the rules? Why did they get to change them? “I just started slowly coming out to myself, basically, and realising this is how I’ve always been and that there was nothing I could do to like, earn or lose worthiness or love.” Before coming to this realisation, Serrano told the publication that she struggled with internalised homophobia due to the anti-LGBTQ+ messages she received from her church growing up.
