Amandla Stenberg came out as gay in a moving conversation with singer/songwriter King Princess.
"Yep, I'm gay," Stenberg declared to King Princess during their interview for a spread in Wonderland magazine.
Stenberg, 19, first came out two years ago as bisexual during a Snapchat interview with Teen Vogue. Now, the "Everything, Everything" actress says she knows she's gay -- and the moment she realized her truth she felt a "profound sense of relief."
