By Daily Mail Reporter. She's known for her tough-girl image, and takes no prisoners when it comes to writing her lyrics. And while she may have welcomed her first child just last year, Pink certainly hasn't softened. The year-old star, real name Alecia Moore, talks about motherhood, marriage and her sexual orientation in the November issue of gay and lesbian news magazine The Advocate. Appearing on the cover in a sheer corseted top - a pair of latex X's covering her modesty - and with her hair coiffed in her trademark blonde and pink Mohawk, Pink continues to defy mainstream music's idealisation of the pretty little pop star.

Recording artist Pink wants parents to have more conversations about gender stereotypes with their children and she has seemingly started with her own kids. She allows wiggle room for her two children: Willow Sage, 6, and Jameson Moon, 1. Gender neutral parenting doesn't mean denying a child the sex they were assigned at birth or pressuring them into a specific gender identity. Though some take the parenting style to the extreme by demanding everyone in a child's life use gender-neutral pronouns , Pink tries to not make assumptions about her children based on sex. As Pink described it, Willow told her once that she was going to grow up and marry a woman from Africa.
