Mo’Nique seemingly comes out as queer in new Netflix comedy special
Oscar winner Mo’Nique seemingly came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community in her new standup special. On 4 April, the beloved comedian released her highly anticipated Netflix special, My Name is Mo’Nique.
While the comedy project was full of hilarious moments, it also featured Mo’Nique opening up about personal topics regarding her LGBTQ+ family members, like her Uncle Tina. “My grandmother has a daughter.
But we call her daughter Uncle Tina… My Uncle Tina, if she walked in here right now, you would think you were looking at a whole man,” she recalled. “So, for you babies in the LGBTQ+ community, I want y’all to hear me.
I respect every-motherf***in body in here free enough to be their goddamn selves.” After her heartfelt admission, Mo’Nique talked about Uncle Tina’s complicated relationship with her grandmother due to the former’s queer identity.
