Keke Palmer Opens Up About Her Sexuality With Raven-Symoné
Keke Palmer is getting candid about her sexuality.While appearing on , Palmer opened up to Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Maday, about coming out as a free spirit and how she broached the topic of sexuality with her family.«There was a moment in my life where I was like ya know, can I be myself?
The moment where you overthink sh*t,» Palmer explained to Raven, who had her own coming out in 2013. «That's not even me, why am I overthinking this?
I guess you just get to the point where I want my life to be my own life.»While Palmer said her parents never voiced any disdain about being gay in her household growing up, she did share that there was something unspoken surrounding the topic.«There is like an unsaid thing that can make you feel — and because I liked guys too, I was kinda like, 'Well, we don't have to talk about it.' Because I like guys too, it was like that's another extra thing that no one really has to know about.
I don't really have to live out,» she shared.She did want to test the waters, however, telling the podcast hosts that by the time she was 17 that after years or repressing her feelings, she decided to «explore her life.»Wanting love and being open to it helped with that too, with the actress adding that she didn't want anything to hold her back.«I ultimately just feel like, the acceptance of that part of myself, in general, was a part of my process of being able to have love in my life,» Pamer noted.
