Demi Lovato says she’s pansexual: ‘I’m part of the alphabet mafia’

Demi Lovato says she identifies as pansexual.

The “Confident” singer, who has previously come out as sexually fluid, said in a new interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” that she isn’t sure if she’ll end up with a male or female partner — or if she’ll ever be pregnant.

“In this moment I want to adopt [children] for sure,” she explained. “I also don’t know if I’m going to end up with a guy, so I can’t really see myself even getting pregnant.

“I don’t know. I’m so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was super closeted off.”

Rogan then asked if “sexually fluid” meant she was romantically interested in both men and women. After she said yes, he clarified, “What do they call that? ‘Pansexual’?”

“Yeah, pansexual,” Lovato responded. “[I like] anything, really.”

The “Dancing With the Devil” singer joked that she once heard somebody refer to the LGBTQIA+ community as the “alphabet mafia” and loved it.

“I’m part of the alphabet mafia and proud,” she said, laughing. “Why can’t we just say queer, y’all? Nah, I’m just kidding.”

Lovato recalled the beginning of her sexual awakening, which came about while watching “Cruel Intentions” and enjoying watching Selma Blair and Sarah Michelle Gellar kiss. But she felt she had to bury her feelings.

“[I] felt a lot of shame because growing up in Texas as a Christian, that’s very frowned upon,” she explained. “I shut it down before I even let myself process what I was feeling.”

Despite being engaged last year to a man — the actor Max Ehrich — Lovato said she has no idea what type of person will be her forever.

“I was engaged to a man last year. I totally thought I’d be married, maybe pregnant right now, and that’s not the case, so I’ve just stopped kind of attaching myself to — I know that my life is not going according to my plan,” she said.
