Alanis Morissette Reveals Pansexual Identity

Alanis Morissette has publicly disclosed her pansexual orientation. During a recent episode of the "Handsome" podcast, the acclaimed singer shared, "I'm pansexual, so, yeah." This revelation came in response to a question about whether negative experiences with men had ever made her consider being a lesbian.

Morissette clarified that pansexuality means being attracted to people for their individuality, independent of gender or sexual orientation. This statement aligns with her previous discussions about exploring sexuality, which she has described as a "rite of passage." She noted in a 2008 interview that she had experimented with her sexuality in the past.

The "Jagged Little Pill" artist also spoke about her deep connection with the LGBTQ+ community since her youth, citing friendships and professional relationships. She recalled reaching out to the creators of "Sex and the City" to suggest her character share a lesbian moment with Carrie Bradshaw during her 2000 cameo on the show, which ultimately happened.

During her appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast in September, Morissette reflected on her 2000 cameo, where her character kissed Carrie Bradshaw. She described the on-screen kiss as "pleasant" and "easy," adding that the show's creators were receptive to her suggestion for the storyline, which involved Carrie dating a pansexual man.
