Alanis Morissette’s Pansexuality and Her ‘Sex and the City’ Appearance

Alanis Morissette has recently identified as pansexual, bringing new attention to her same-sex kiss with Sarah Jessica Parker on ‘Sex and the City’. The 52-year-old singer discussed her sexuality on the ‘Handsome’ podcast, having previously talked about the memorable scene on ‘Call Her Daddy’ in September.

Morissette appeared in the third season episode ‘Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl…’ playing Dawn, who kisses Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Parker, during a game of spin the bottle. She shared that she pitched the idea to the show’s producers, suggesting a lesbian moment for Carrie. They agreed, and the scene was created.

“I reached out to them and I said, ‘Might it be a nice time for Carrie to experience a lesbian moment?’ And they said, ‘Why, yes. We were thinking the same thing.’”

Reflecting on the scene, Morissette described the kiss with Parker as ‘easy’ and ‘buoyant’, recalling the moment fondly.

Her recent identification as pansexual came during a conversation on ‘Handsome’, hosted by Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin. Morissette’s dating history with men was a topic of discussion, leading to her pansexual announcement.

“I’m pansexual, so, yeah,” Morissette replied when asked about her sexual experience.

In a 2008 interview with The Advocate, she expressed that exploring sexuality is a vital part of self-discovery, acknowledging her connection with the gay community from a young age.

“I think it’s a beautiful rite of passage for everyone to play with their sexuality at some point, so I did exactly that, and it was great!”

Morissette cherishes the passion and curiosity she often encounters within the gay community, attributes she finds particularly special.
