Chappell Roan is living her best lesbian life, and we’re all just lucky enough to watch it unfold. The 27-year-old singer has been laying it all out on the table, unfiltered and unapologetically, as she embraces her lesbian identity in a world that still has a lot of confused people trying to figure out if she’s really gay. Spoiler alert: She is. And honey, she’s owning it.

“I Just Wasn’t Supposed to Be Sleeping with Men”
So, what’s the deal with Chappell? Was she always clear on her sexuality? Not exactly. It took some time. In fact, for a while, Roan thought there was something “wrong” with her. I mean, we’ve all had that existential crisis, but hers was about kissing dudes. In a cover story interview with Rolling Stone in 2024, she said, “Finally, it’s like, ‘Oh, I know why. It’s because I’m gay and nothing’s actually wrong with me.’”
What a moment, right? And honestly, can we just talk about how she got repulsed by the idea of kissing a guy? I mean, same, girl. She bluntly admitted, “No one’s going to be as good as girls.” The audacity to be this real? We love it.

After breaking free from the shackles of her conservative Christian upbringing, Roan realized her shame wasn’t about her—it was about all the homophobic nonsense she had been fed. She peeled back those layers of ignorance like a potato (a cute, lesbian potato), and boom, she was finally free. No more shame, just the truth. “People hate flamboyantly gay people because it exudes femininity, and people hate women,” she said. And I think we can all agree, yes, that’s a thing, and it’s messed up.
The Uncomfortable Reality of Being Gay
Here’s the thing: Roan’s journey hasn’t been all rainbows and glitter (which, let’s be real, we all know she would have hated). “I’m still confused about certain things,” she admitted, which is, honestly, so relatable. We’ve all had those moments where we’re like, “What the hell is going on?” That’s okay, though. Being gay isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about being yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable. “I just don’t want to talk about it every second of every day,” she said. And we feel that. Sometimes, you just want to exist without being constantly asked to explain your identity to the masses. Let the girl breathe!
She also gave a little gift to all of us non-exuberantly loud gays when she said, “You can kind of silently celebrate if you would like.” I mean, yes, girl. You don’t need to throw a parade to live your truth. You do you, whether that’s loudly or in the quiet comfort of your own fabulous existence. Let’s give her a round of applause for this message.
Is Chappell Roan Gay? Lesbian? Bisexual? Who Cares?
Alright, let’s settle this once and for all: Is Chappell Roan gay? Yes. Lesbian? Hell yes. But, apparently, the internet can’t seem to accept it, and we have to keep explaining it. So, is she bisexual? Nope, she’s lesbian. Period. We’ve been over this, people. The fact that some people are still out here questioning it, where people end up ranting on Reddit or X (formerly Twitter) is honestly exhausting. She’s said it. Loudly. End of story.
Disappointed that Wikipedia seems to be scared of Chappell being a lesbian

Let’s be clear: her identity isn’t up for debate anymore. Just because some random Wikipedia editor is too scared to update her page doesn’t mean we should keep playing this game of “Who’s Confused About Chappell Roan’s Sexuality?” Spoiler alert: We all know it. She’s a lesbian. Let’s move on and start celebrating the fact that we’re all living in this lesbian icon’s world.
The “Service Top” Moment That Was the Final Clue
If you’ve listened to the Las Culturistas podcast (and if you haven’t, what are you even doing?), Roan dropped a huge truth bomb about her gay awakening. During the episode, she explained that her experiences with men felt “so performative” and even took a moment to shade the whole “service top” dynamic. To those of us who’ve had “that experience” (we all know the one), Roan’s words are a revelation: “It just felt so performative.” She didn’t want to just act the part; she wanted to feel it. And when you’re just faking it, you know it. We’ve all been there, honey.
As Roan shared, “That is my experience when I hooked up with men. That’s how I knew I was gay.” It wasn’t until she realized how not aligned her experiences with men were that she figured it out—she’s gay. That moment of clarity? It hit her hard, and now we get to enjoy the fruits of her labor: a gay, beautiful, honest singer who’s out here living her truth and making us all question our own dating decisions.
