Demi Lovato recently opened up in an interview, discussing various topics, including her journey with pronouns and commitment to raising awareness within the LGBTQIA community.

“It will be worth it as long as there are people who tell me that I am an inspiration to them or that I have helped them learn more about themselves and feel more comfortable in their skin,” she revealed in a translation from Spanish to English.
“That’s the most meaningful thing to me. There are queer couples who have gotten engaged at my concerts and that’s really special.”
“I face this every day. For example, in public toilets. Having to access the women’s bathroom, even though I don’t completely identify with it. I would feel more comfortable in a genderless bathroom,” Demi said, insinuating she’d like the ability to use the urinals.

“Or it also happens when filling out forms, such as government documents or any other where you have to specify your gender. You only have two options, male and female, and I feel like none of that makes sense to me. I see myself conditioned to choose a woman because there are no more. I think this has to change. Hopefully with time there will be more options.”
Demi shared, “The safe space that I have created in the industry is proof of the safe space that I have also created in my life. And I think that no matter what sector you are in, you have to be comfortable to evolve. I’ve spent years selecting the right people and I’ve finally found my tribe.”

“I constantly had to educate people and explain why I identified with those pronouns. It was absolutely exhausting,” Demi said in a quote translated from Spanish to English. “I just got tired. But for that very reason I know that it is important to continue spreading the word.”
Demi Lovato came out as non-binary in May 2021 and announced that she would be using they/them pronouns. In August 2022, she shared that she was also comfortable with she/her pronouns and asked that people use both when referring to her.

Lovato explained on the Spout podcast, “I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced in my masculine and feminine energy. So that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom, and it said ‘women’ and ‘men,’ I didn’t feel like there was a bathroom for me. Because I didn’t feel necessarily like a woman. I didn’t feel like a man. I just felt like a human. And that’s what they/them is, is about for me.”
She added, “Recently I’ve been feeling more feminine, so I’ve adopted she/her again.” The Glee actress said she was still learning and growing and that her pronouns might change in the future.
