Ciara was so open about beg gay and they were so nfint about and so proud of and I looked at them and thought, ‘I wish I uld be like that.

“You know how gay relatnships go; you meet that person and you’re like, ‘Let’s move together, ’” she jok. Though she’s been out for years—“Y I’m gay” she tweeted November 2018, a lightfully nonchalant move rivaled only by Kristen Stewart’s “I’m, like, so gay, du” on Saturday Night Live—this is the first time she’s been liberately vol about this aspect of her inty.

I’ve always been gay. When I me out of the womb I knew I was gay.
