Tessa Thompson has spoken out about her relationship with queer musician Janelle Monae JustJared.com noted.
The Westworld actress told PorterEdit about Monae, "We love each other deeply, we're so close. We vibrate on the same frequency. If people want to speculate about what we are, that's okay. It doesn't bother me."
Thompson added that Monae's Dirty Computer album is important for the LGBTQ community: "I get text messages from friends which are like, 'Would you please let Janelle know I came out to my family because of her?' I think that work is really helping people and probably saving some lives."
