Pink is used to causing a stir when it comes to her edgy song lyrics or music videos, but the 38-year-old rocker is finding herself in the midst of a different kind of controversy as of late.

In an interview with The People, Pink said that she and her husband, Carey Hart, are raising their 6-year-old daughter, Willow, and 11-month-old son, Jameson, to be gender neutral.

The singer says that she didn't want kids to be "defined by traditional gender roles."

"We are a very label-less household," Pink told reporters. "Last week Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like: "Great, can you teach me how to make African food?"

It isn't Pink's first grappling with gender norms, but she's making pretty big waves on social media this time around, from adoring fans falling even more in love with her to critics saying they'll never listen to her music again. Read on to see what people are saying about Pink.

Some wondered aloud why Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, chose a color closely associated with the female identity for her stage name. Pink told Good Morning America that there are many reasons behind her stage name, but the main one was because she and her friends agreed that she resembled the character Mr. Pink from the Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs.

Others were disheartened by the negativity surrounding the news.
