Kehlani Announces She's Pregnant

Scroll To Top

Singer-songwriter Kehlani took to Twitter earlier today to announce that she's expecting a child!

— (@)

Unfortuntely, because we can't have nice things, trolls came out of the woodwork to question the openly queer 23-year-old's sexuality.

— (@)

Kehlani, however, was having none of it, and quickly took the trolls to task, reminding people that queerness exists on a spectrum and that being queer doesn't mean you can't have babies.

Luckily, her supporters outnumbered the critics.

\u201cSome of these reaction to news that @Kehlani is pregnant reveals how far we have to go in explaining the difference between being queer and sexually fluid to being straight up lesbian/gay.\n\nEducate yourselves before you question someone's sexuality.\u201d
