Most people remember Black from her viral music video "Friday" in 2011, but now she is rebranding as a social media star with new music. She made headlines this year when she went on the "Dating Straight" podcast back in April and revealed that she identifies as queer.
"To me, the word 'queer' feels really nice," she told the hosts, Page Six reported. "I've dated a lot of different types of people, and I just don't really know what the future holds. Some days I feel little more on the gay side than others."
This year, she followed the announcement up with an interview with Gay Times where she explained the relief she felt after coming out.
"I wouldn't call it tough, but I think for me the hardest part was probably that I was always trying to find the right time, and what I realized is that there's never really a right time, and I would never have thought that this would even happen now, but I am really happy that it is happening," the singer told Gay Times. "Everybody talks about that sense of relief and I had no idea what that would feel like, but they're right, and I'm so happy to be finally able to talk about it."
