Alanis Morissette recently shared her pansexual identity, giving new context to her memorable same-sex kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City. The singer, now 52, spoke about her sexuality on the Handsome podcast. This follows her discussion of the kiss on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
Morissette played Dawn in a season 3 episode titled “Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl…” and kissed Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, in a spin-the-bottle game. Reflecting on the story’s creation, Morissette recalled pitching a lesbian moment for Carrie to the show’s producers. They embraced the idea, leading to the iconic scene.
She described the kiss with Parker as “easy” and “buoyant,” noting its pleasantness. This revelation about her sexuality brought back attention to her comments.
Her pansexuality became a topic on the Handsome podcast hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin. Feimster mentioned Morissette’s tumultuous dating history, playfully asking if it had prompted her to consider lesbianism. Morissette affirmed her pansexuality, explaining how it’s a part of her identity.
In a previous interview with The Advocate in 2008, Morissette spoke about exploring sexuality as an enriching experience. She mentioned her long-time connection with the gay community, valuing their passion and curiosity.
Alanis Morissette’s ongoing influence continues, solidifying her status as a music icon. Her 1995 album not only topped charts but also earned her multiple Grammy Awards.
