Actress Amandla Stenberg just announced to the world that she is gay. 

In a straight to the point, brave Instagram post, Amandla Stenberg revealed that she is gay. Stenberg posted a picture of herself taken for Wonderland magazine and within the caption, she states “🏳️‍🌈✨ OUT & PROUD. ✨🏳️‍🌈 So happy to say the words Yep, I’m Gay in official print,”


She also added, “Interviewed for @wonderland by someone I stan infinitely – the fiercest garbagio pop queen @kingprincess69. Thank you to KP for providing me with such a safe space to come out. We talk about gay sobbing, first encounters with lesbian masturbation, queer icons, Toni Morrison, disillusionment as a critical step, the art I’ve been working on, and the films that I have coming out this year.”

In this interview, Amandla revealed that many hints lead to the realization of her sexuality. She states, “…maybe there’s a reason why I kissed my best friends and felt ashamed growing up. Or watched lesbian porn and masturbated (and more) with my friends at sleepovers … Or could only find attraction towards gay men and femme boys who damn near had the sensibility of a woman. Or developed earth shattering, all consuming crushes on… GIRLS!”

Amandla Stenberg is definitely not shy to the topic of gender norms and sexuality. In previous interviews, Amandla stated why she doesn’t comply with gender norms and more about her overall sexuality.

You go Amandla, speak your truth.
