For years, every May 24th has been celebrated Pansexuality Day (or Pansexual Visibility Day. Or, in a third nomenclature, Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day). And many people may still be wondering: what is pansexuality?
Although pansexuality can be understood in many ways, we will take the definition of the American organization Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), which indicates that A pansexual person is someone who is attracted to “all gender identities or people regardless of gender”.
To make those who identify with this sexual orientation visible, the possibility of a Pansexuality Day was born on the internet some time ago.
Since the word became popular (Sigmund Freud is said to have first used it in the mid-1920s), several celebrities have come out as pansexual. let’s look at some of them.
1. Bella Thorne
The former Disney actress came out as pansexual in 2019 during an interview with Good Morning America. “You like what you like. It doesn’t have to be a girl, or a boy, or… you know, a he, a she, a this or that. You literally like the personality, like you like it,” he said .
2. Janelle Monae
In 2018, shortly before Thorne, the American singer said in a note to Rolling Stone that she identified with pansexuality after reading about the term.
3.Mae Whitman
Closer in time, actress Mae Whitman tweeted in August 2021 that she is pansexual: “I’ll take a moment to say I am SO proud to be a part, however small, of a show like The Owl House. I myself am pansexual. , I wish I had amazing characters like Amity and Luz in my life when I was growing up.”
4. Yungblud
In a conversation with Attitude in 2020, the singer said, “I love everyone, I’m attracted to everyone.” As for his sexuality, Yungblud said that his ex-girlfriend Halsey helped him a lot to discover himself.
“The conversations we’d have at night, she’s so knowledgeable because she’s been openly bisexual for years…it’s so fun when you date, and yet [le] you owe a lot in terms of sexuality; Even though he’s not a man, he made me go, ‘Oh my god, I probably like him,'” he said.
5. Cara Delevingne
The model and actress told Variety in 2020, “I think I will always remain pansexual. It doesn’t matter how you define yourself, whether it’s ‘them’ or ‘he’ or ‘she,’ I just fall in love with the person, and that’s it. I feel attraction to the person”.
6. Miley Cyrus
When she was 22, Miley literally said, “I’m pansexual.”
7.Demi Lovato
In 2021, the singer also openly stated that she is pansexual. She did so on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where she also targeted the LGBTQIA+ community for being “part of the alphabet mafia.”
8. Brendon Urie
In a note with Paper Magazine, Urie revealed, “I guess this is coming off as pansexual. If a person is awesome, then they’re awesome. I like good people, if they have big hearts. I’m definitely attracted to men.” What attracts me is the people”
