She recently came out officially as gay in an interview with Wonderland magazine and discussed what she loves about and has learned through her sexuality.

Amandla, who has previously come out as pansexual [2], shared a post on Instagram [3] and wrote that she's "so happy to say" she's gay in official print. She drew inspiration from Ellen DeGeneres [4]'s famous Time magazine cover by revealing "Yep, I'm Gay." In the middle of Pride month, it's so uplifting and incredible to see Amandla continue to set an example by embracing her sexuality.
