Biography
Although Monáe has never personally addressed the rumors of her sexuality in public, during a 2011 interview with London Evening Standard she said that when it comes to her sexuality, she "only dates androids," a reference to her musical alter-ego found in many of her songs. She has also said, "I speak about androids because I think the android represents the new 'other.' You can compare it to being a lesbian or being a gay man or being a black woman... What I want is for people who feel oppressed or feel like the 'other' to connect with the music and to feel like, 'She represents who I am'," adding that she would talk about her sexual orientation "in due time." In 2013, Monáe stated that she wants both men and women to "still be attracted to [her]"; and she went on to express her support for the LGBT community.Best films
