Pink explains why she is allowing her child to grow up gender neutral

Pink has said that she is raising her daughter Willow as gender neutral.

She told The Sunday People that she champions gender neutrality and it's something she wants to pass on to her children. She doesn't want them to be defined by gender. She has two children with her husband Carey Hart, 6-year-old Willow and 6-month-old Jameson. Pink explained that she wants them to grow up in a 'label-less' house and also recalled a time when Willow announced that she wanted to marry an African woman. She said:

"We are a very label-less household. 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.’ "I was like ‘Who is paying for this by the way?’"

In August, Pink was honoured with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at this year’s VMA Awards. When accepting the award, she gave a very empowering speech aimed at her daughter. She said:

“I know we don’t have a lot of time but if I may tell you a quick story. Recently, I was driving my daughter home from school and she said, ‘Mamma, I’m the ugliest girl I know. I look like a boy with long hair’.

She was shocked to hear her daughter talk about herself that way and wanted to make sure it didn’t continue.

“I went home and made a PowerPoint presentation for her. And in the presentation, there were androgynous rock stars and artists that live their truth and are probably made fun of every day of their lives and carry on. They wave their flag and inspire the rest of us.”
