The first-ever woman to make the finals of American Idol while openly-gay also has two mums, and two stepmums! Check out MK Nobilette’s cool story here. Nobilette was raised by two mums and is publicly out herself, which she talked about during her initial audition, saying "I'm very obviously gay, and there are always going to be people in America and everywhere else who are definitely going to hate me. But I think in the last two years there have been a lot of things that have really changed that, and have made it a positive thing." MK and Casey Her mums separated when she was four, and both now have girlfriends, resulting in a large extended family, which Nobilette says is 'very San Francisco'. The student, soccer player and snowboarder lives in San Francisco with her girlfriend Casey Ellis, who is also her vocal coach, and accompanist. Apparently they regularly serenade each other! Too cute! She says she’s had more positive responses to being out on the show than negative, and most of the nastiness has been of the ‘she looks like a boy’ variety. “There have been a few haters, but I predicted that the minute I said it,” Nobilette’s told People. “But actually, the response has been pretty positive. Mostly, people have been really supportive.” GayNZ.com staff - 7th March 2014
