Alanis Morissette pansexual identity and Sex and the City kiss, Digi Mart USA News: Alanis Morissette’s recent decision to publicly identify as pansexual has cast her famous same-sex kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker on “Sex and the City” in a new light. The singer, 52, opened up about her sexuality during an appearance on the “Handsome” podcast after previously discussing the memorable 2000 scene on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast in September.
Morissette appeared on “Sex and the City” in the season 3 episode “Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl…” as Dawn, a woman who kisses Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, during a game of spin the bottle. During her September appearance on “Call Her Daddy,” Morissette said she helped pitch the storyline to the show’s producers.
“I reached out to them and I said, ‘Might it be a nice time for Carrie to experience a lesbian moment?'” Morissette said. “And they said, ‘Why, yes.
We were thinking the same thing.'” She added, “I think we literally had the same idea at the same time. That happens.”
Morissette also reflected on the kiss itself, describing the moment with Parker as “easy” and “buoyant.” “I do recall kissing her,” she said. “It was very pleasant.”
Morissette’s comments resurfaced after she publicly identified as pansexual during Tuesday’s episode of the “Handsome” podcast, co-hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin. The conversation turned to the singer’s rocky dating history with men.
Feimster told Morissette, “I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it,” before asking, “Did it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?”
“I’m pansexual, so, yeah,” Morissette replied. Notaro asked, “Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?” Morissette confirmed, “I am.” Notaro responded that guests are supposed to lead with the declaration.
Morissette replied, “I like to leave it for the epilogue. I like to confuse people on the way out.”
Morissette previously spoke about sexuality during a 2008 interview with The Advocate. “I think it’s a beautiful rite of passage for everyone to play with their sexuality at some point, so I did exactly that,” she said.
“And it was great!” She added, “I’ve felt love from the gay community since I was really young because all my friends were gay.”
