Demi Lovato comes out as pansexual

Demi Lovato has come out as pansexual, describing herself as “fluid” after being closeted off and growing up in a conservative Christian environment.
In an interview with Joe Rogan on the March 27 episode of his podcast, Demi opened up about her sexuality, saying “I’m so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was like super closeted off.”
Joe clarified what being “fluid” meant, asking if she meant “pansexual” – which Demi confirmed.
“Yeah, pansexual…I heard someone call the LGBTQIA+ community the alphabet mafia, and I was like…that’s it, that’s what I’m going with. I’m going with that. I’m a part of the alphabet mafia and proud,” she said.
The Wisconsin legislation in question is the Protect Women in Sports Act, introduced by Rep. Barbara Dittrich, R-Oconomowoc. The GOP package would prohibit trans athletes from playing on girls’ sports teams at the K-12 and collegiate levels.
Similar bills barring transgender athletes from equal participation on athletic teams are circling state legislatures in 25 other states as of early March, according to the ACLU. The protest comes as Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves signed the first anti-trans legislation of 2021 into law Thursday.
In an interview with The Badger Herald, University of Wisconsin graduate student and activist Jack Phillips said their main takeaway from the march was a sense of community and the feeling that the marchers were “all out here together.”
