Bareilles considers herself "definitely sort of afeminist",saying," I don't think that being a feminist has anything to do with hating anything. It's about celebrating women and being productive for females. I'm not one for seeing amazing, intelligent women being reduced to sex symbols. "[139]Bareilles has been a longtime ally of theLGBTQ+ communityand cites her song "Brave"as being inspired by her friend's struggle withcoming out.[64][140]
