Kehlani has donated $50,000 to various LGBTQ+ organisations around the USA, PAPER report. The singer tweeted that she was partnering with Fashion Nova for the donations and shared images of people at LGBTQ+ centres holding up cheques.
The Ruth Ellis Center in Detroit, The Kaleidoscope Youth Center in Columbus, Ohio, The Oasis Center in Ohio, and The Hetrick Martin Institute in New Jersey all received money. Kehlani additionally wrote that she’d be sharing all the centres she was donating to on Instagram.
“THAT is what I’m most proud of this year,” she wrote.
Just days earlier, Kehlani clarified her sexuality on Twitter, telling her followers: “I’m queer”. She subsequently deleted the tweets, writing that she’d been told the wording of the tweet was “singling out of trans & intersex... sounded transphobic, ignorant and to some, sounding like fetishization”.
