Diana King applauds Dalton Harris for ‘coming out’
In the midst
of all the criticism that Dalton Harris has received for ‘coming out’, lesbian Jamaica-born
singer Diana King has offered her support.
Harris made a bold statement on Friday. In addition to posting a picture of the pansexual pride flag on Twitter, he also answered some questions about his sexuality on Instagram.
“To the boys
with fragile egos, I am a TOP to you and your girlfriend. Or non-binary
partner,†he said in the post.
In the LGBTQ community, a ‘top’ is referred to as a person who penetrates or plays a dominant role in the relationship.
While he did
receive some bashing and bullying for his stance, some support came from King,
who revealed that she was a lesbian in 2012, eventually marrying her female partner,
Mijanne Webster, in 2018
“Man! I’m so
proud of u @daltonharris,†she said in a Twitter post on Friday.
“I can more
than imagine how this feels & trust! there r few things more worth it than
the courage to be authentic & standing in your truth in the belly of
negativity. Yu lighta now. I wish u all the very best star Ÿ’« gwaan shine! MI DE YA Ÿ™Ÿ¾Ÿ’›â€
Harris responded to the post, saying: “Thank you for your music, work and
support as well.â€
The declaration by Harris came the day after he revealed that he considered suicide on Wednesday. Openly speaking about his mental health struggles, the United Kingdom-based singer pledged that he will no longer try to run away from his pain.
