“I actually had come out to loved ones and friends, like, last year, but this year, I made it public,” the singer, 28, explained during YouTube Pride 2021 on Saturday, June 25.

They added that coming out to fans was about remaining honest. “I felt it was really important for me to share that with the world,” the Camp Rock alum said. “I’ve been so open and honest with my truth to my fans. I felt holding it in any longer just didn’t feel right, and I wanted to share that — my truth — with the world.”

The “Dancing With the Devil” performer noted that while the response hasn’t been 100% supportive, the majority of their fans have embraced the Texas native’s identity. “Most people have been so wonderful, and that’s the reality of coming out,” they added.

It has been an adjustment for Lovato’s friends and family to switch from she/her to they/them pronouns. “I am grateful for the progress that my family members have made in using my pronouns, team members, friends,” they said.

More importantly, they are glad to see so many people learning more about gender identity. “I love the conversation that it has begun to spark and I think that’s really important. So I have officially changed my pronouns to they/them, and yeah, I feel better than ever,” Lovato concluded.

The former Disney Channel star first came out via Instagram. “Today is a day I’m so happy to share more of my life with you all — I am proud to let you know that I identify as non-binary and will officially be changing my pronouns to they/them moving forward,” they wrote in the caption of their IGTV video last month. “This has come after a lot of healing and self-reflective work. I’m still learning and coming into myself, and I don’t claim to be an expert or a spokesperson.”

The Unidentified With Demi Lovato star added that they wanted to help others who identify outside the gender binary. “I’m doing this for those out there that haven’t been able to share who they truly are with their loved ones. Please keep living in your truths and know I am sending so much love your way,” they wrote at the time.

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
