Demi Lovato has long been candid about her sexuality, but sheโ€™s publicly sharing the label she identifies with. On the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, she said sheโ€™s pansexual, meaning sheโ€™s attracted to all genders, and sheโ€™s proud to be part of the โ€œalphabet mafia,โ€ referring to the LGBTQIA+ community.

While talking about whether she wants to have children, Lovato said, โ€œI used to. I think if anything I want to adopt. I was engaged to a man last year,โ€ she continued, referring to ex-fiancรฉ Max Ehrich. โ€œI totally thought Iโ€™d be married, maybe pregnant by now. And thatโ€™s not the case.โ€

She continued, โ€œI also donโ€™t know if Iโ€™m going to end up with a guy, so I canโ€™t really see myself maybe getting pregnant. Iโ€™m so fluid now โ€” and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was super closeted off.โ€

Rogan clarified that she means โ€œsexually fluidโ€ and that sheโ€™s interested in both women and men. Lovato replied, โ€œYeah โ€” anything really.โ€

He asked if the term is โ€œpansexualโ€ and Lovato replied, โ€œYeah, pansexual.โ€

Lovato went on to say she heard someone call the LGBTQIA+ community the โ€œalphabet mafiaโ€ โ€” and loved the term.

โ€œThatโ€™s it! Thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m going with. Iโ€™m part of the alphabet mafia and proud,โ€ she said.

Later, Rogan asked when Lovato realized she was interested in women as well as men, she said it was watching 1999โ€™s Cruel Intentions and seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair.

โ€œI was like, โ€˜Oh, I like that,'โ€ she recalled. โ€œBut I felt a lot of shame because growing up in Texas as a Christian thatโ€™s very frowned upon. Any attraction I had to a female at a young age, I shut it down before I even let myself process what I was feeling.โ€

Lovato has been out as sexually fluid since 2017. That year, she said in her YouTube documentary, Simply Complicated, that she was open to dating men and women, explaining, โ€œI am open to human connection. So whether thatโ€™s through a male or a female, it doesnโ€™t matter to me.โ€
