As her namesake, I owe this icon so much. Queen Janet, THANK YOU for your artistry, for modeling selective openness, for ballads & bops with a message, for my salve The Velvet Rope & for showing us that our sexualities won’t be policed or contained. #JanetJacksonAppreciationDay pic.twitter.com/zU8Seuitx3
