Chappell Roan Has Come Out
Chappell Roan has proudly come out.
The ‘Pink Pony Club’ singer is known for her vibrant pop music and unique style.
Over the last year, she’s ascended to pop stardom, although she has been building her career for nearly a decade.
She started a YouTube channel as a teenager, uploading covers, and began accumulating a following.
Roan then gained recognition after her performance at Coachella went viral in April 2024, broadening her fan base.
The ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ singer has been open about her s**ulity and explores it through her music.
Fans of the singer have shared their support, with one writing: “One of the main pop girlies right now being openly queer, constantly defending trans rights is so important to me, Chappell Roan you will always be famous.”
“I know she’s being the person she wished to see as a little girl. Her impact is groundbreaking. She is a beacon of light for all of us in the queer community,” somebody else comments.
A third adds: “As a queer person I am so glad I found Chappell Roan’s music.”
Roan was brought up in the conservative city of Willard, Missouri, where she attended church three times a week and was taught that being gay was a sin.
She was closeted, but when she moved to LA after signing a record deal her eyes were opened to a queer community.
After visiting her first gay club she wrote her hit song ‘Pink Pony Club,’ a liberating disco anthem.
Roan is the artist’s alter-ego, which she describes as a ‘larger-than-life, drag queen version’ of herself.
Kayleigh Amstuzt, the artist’s real name, described to the BBC her upbringing in a small town.
She said: “It was never that I was too big for the town, I just didn’t feel like myself there. I couldn’t express myself the way I wanted to, or talk how I wanted to. I always felt like I was too much.”
The ‘Red Wine Supernova’ singer shared with Rolling Stones that she had shame surrounding her s**uality due to her Christian upbringing.
“I was scared of flamboyantly gay people because I was taught that,” she explained.
“[I realized] people hate flamboyantly gay people because it exudes femininity, and people hate women. Just little things like that that you’re like, ‘Oh, my God, this is so f***ed.’”
Roan also revealed she is still ‘confused’ about certain things surrounding queerness: “I don’t get why this is such an issue for me. It shouldn’t be, but something’s just going on and I need to just accept that.”
She came out to fans as a lesbian at an Ohio concert.
The pop star said to Rolling Stones: “Finally it’s like, ‘Oh, I know why. It’s because I’m gay and nothing’s actually wrong with me.’
“I just wasn’t supposed to be sleeping with men, and now I’m a little repulsed at the thought of even kissing a guy because no one’s going to be as good as girls.”
