After coming out as pansexual back in 2018, Janelle Monáe has shared another identity with us — she’s non-binary.
The singer came out as nb in the most low-key way ever, merely tweeted #IAmNonbinary, alongside a planet emoji.
\u201c#IAmNonbinary \ud83e\ude90\u201d— Janelle Mon\u00e1e\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude86\ud83e\udd16\ud83d\ude80\ud83e\ude90 (@Janelle Mon\u00e1e\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude86\ud83e\udd16\ud83d\ude80\ud83e\ude90) 1578700229
Monáe’s post also included a retweet of a message from @camrynieroway, that says “There is absolutely nothing better than living outside the gender binary,” alongside the same hashtag.
#IAmNonbinary was a trending topic on Twitter throughout the day, before Monáe posted. It mostly featured various users who identify as non-binary posting photos of themselves, showing the world that “non-binary” can cover a whole spectrum of people.
\u201cHere are some ways to go beyond the binary and ensure the language you use is inclusive of non-binary people. \n\n#IAmNonbinary \ud83d\udc9b\ud83e\udd0d\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udda4\u201d— GLAAD (@GLAAD) 1578675500
Several other celebrities have come out as nonbinary recently, including singer Sam Smith, Atypical star Brigette Lundy-Paine, Scream star Bex Taylor-Klause, and RuPaul's Drag Race queens Valentina and Shea Couleé.
Monáe’s revelation sparked a series of affirming tweets from fans and friends.

\u201c@JanelleMonae @Aeriqui Because you spoke up today, some person out there was lifted from the darkness of being afraid, unseen, and uncertain of their identity in a society that hates LGBTQ+ people. Thank you for being a voice to those finding their own, and for publicly sharing something intimate \u2764\ufe0f\u201d— Janelle Mon\u00e1e\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude86\ud83e\udd16\ud83d\ude80\ud83e\ude90 (@Janelle Mon\u00e1e\ud83d\udc7d\ud83d\ude86\ud83e\udd16\ud83d\ude80\ud83e\ude90) 1578700229
