Pink Explains Why She’s Raising Her Kids In ‘Gender Neutral’ Home

Pink recently explained why she and her husband, Carey Hart, have decided to raise their kids in a gender-neutral environment.

While speaking with Mirror UK’s “The Sunday People” on Monday, the 38-year-old singer said that she was inspired after she saw a bathroom with a “Gender Neutral – anybody” label on it.

“I was in a school and the bathroom outside the kindergarten said, ‘Gender Neutral – anybody,’ and it was a drawing of many different shapes. I took a picture of it and I wrote, ‘Progress.’ I thought that was awesome. I love that kids are having this conversation,” she said.

Pink also shared a conversation she had with her 6-year-old daughter, Willow, who told her that she wanted to marry an African woman someday.

“Last week, Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like, ‘Great, can you teach me how to make African food?’ And she’s like, ‘Sure, Mama. And we are going to live with you while our house is getting ready,’” she said.

Pink was so surprised with what her daughter said, but soon realized that her desire to raise her in a label-less household is working.

Meanwhile, Pink and her husband have also been very open when it comes to Willow’s clothing. As a gender neutral family, they are open to Willow wearing “boys’ clothes.” In August, Pink, Hart and Willow graced the MTV Video Music Awards, and the young girl was photographed wearing a suit.

While at the VMAs, Pink also shared a story about Willow telling her that she thought she was ugly. When she heard this, Pink came up with a PowerPoint presentation filled with photos of celebrities who are also androgynous.

“Recently, I was driving my daughter to school and she said to me, out of the blue, ‘Mama, I’m the ugliest girl I know. I look like a boy with long hair.’ My brain went to, ‘Oh, my God you’re six. Where is this coming from?’… But I didn’t say anything,” she said.

Instead, Pink reminded her daughter that she’s beautiful, and she should always live her truth.
