How Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith and More Stars Are Changing the Face of Sexuality in Hollywood

This artist is all about being open and candid when it comes to learning about one’s self. “It’s been a journey. For me, sexuality and sexual identity and fluidity is a journey. It’s not a destination,” she told Lizzo in an interview for Them.

While the singer doesn’t exactly identify by one label or title, he once said that he feels “just as much woman as I am man.” He added, “I love a heel. I’ve got loads of heels at home.”

For this star, coming out as bisexual was as easy as answering “yes” to a question on Twitter. She explained, “You can’t hide who you are forever.”

Like Bella Thorne, this Disney Channel star took a casual approach to sharing her sexual identity. She took to Twitter to explain, “In my life—only ever liked boys. However I personally don’t wanna label myself as straight, gay or whateva so I am not gonna give myself labels to stick with—just existing;)”

Living a free life is the name of the game for this singer. “Make all the love you want with whoever the f–k you want. Why are you gonna waste your time hating yourself ‘cause of who you like or who you wanna f–k? You might not even like them, you might just wanna f–k them, and that’s fine,” she proclaimed in an interview with Nylon.

This singer is helping to create equal representation in the music industry. She previously told PAPER magazine, “I’m a young, bisexual woman and finding that kind of representation in music is really complicated.”

“Once I understood my gender more, which was unassigned, then I understood my sexuality more. I was like, ‘Oh—that’s why I don’t feel straight and I don’t feel gay. It’s because I’m not,” the pop star told Variety about coming out as pansexual. 

“I’m young, I’m having fun, I don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not,” the model said in an interview with The Telegraph. “So I don’t really care on that matter. People can say what they want, but I’m having a good time.” 

“I don’t think answering who I’m sleeping with accomplishes anything other than quenching the thirst of curiosity,” the How to Get Away With Murder star told Out magazine. “We still live in this hetero-normative, patriarchal society that is intent on placing everything within these binaries.”

“I’m not confirming and I’m definitely not denying,” the singer told Alan Carr when asked if she was a lesbian. “All of my songs are based off of personal experiences. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with experimentation at all.”

“I don’t want to have to deny my sexuality in order to be me. But I don’t want to have to be defined by it,” the actress told The Times.

The Hunger Games actress came out in a Tumblr video, announcing that she identifies as a “black, bisexual woman.”

 “Google me; I’m not hiding. I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don’t think it’s necessary to figure out if you’re gay or straight,” the Twilight stars said in a Nylon interview

“I’m queer. I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular,” the Justice League star told Out magazine.

“No, I’m not gay/ No, I’m not straight/ And I sure as hell am not bisexual/ Damn it, I am who I am when I am it,” she raps in a freestyle verse over Macklemore’s “Same Love,” telling fans her feelings about her identity.

“I don’t love just men, I love people,” the singer told Seventeen magazine. “It’s not about a gender. It’s just about the spirit that exudes from that other person you’re with.”

“I think defining yourself as 100 percent anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded,” the Hunger Games hunk told Out magazine.

“Happiness is defined by me. My sexuality is defined by me. And that can change and this can change and I can make it what I want to make it because I’m the one who makes that choice,” the Scream Queens star told xoNecole.

“I don’t think about those words, I believe in gender fluidity and sexual fluidity. I don’t really identify as anything,” the musician told Rolling Stone.

Defining herself by labels is so not Raven.  “I don’t want to be labeled ‘gay.’ I want to be labeled ‘a human who loves humans,'”  the actress told Oprah Winfrey in an interview.
