Gender reveal parties are prohibited for Demi Lovato – for serious reason.
The singer published a statement on Friday, which said: “This is not about being politically correct, but about being correct. The refusal to acknowledge this stems from a misunderstanding of what transphobia is. Transphobia is not just prejudice or violence against a trans person, is a belief system that assumes that non-trans people are more ‘natural’ than trans people.
She attributed the words to ALOK, a writer and artist who does not conform to the genre. “Thank you for sharing your knowledge and always educating us,” she wrote.
Lovato has long championed the LGBTQ community. In June 2017, she was one of many artists who wrote a love letter to members for an appeal in Advertising panel magazine. “When I hear about discrimination and setbacks, I am heartbroken. I struggle not to understand the fact that we live in a world where love and equal rights still need to be questioned or disregarded, ”she wrote. “All of you have been a big part of my life and existence. You inspire, empower and encourage me every day, and I will continue with you and give you all the same and more in return.”
The “Confident” singer also revealed that her own sexuality is “very fluid”, according to an interview in March 2018 with Teen Vogue.
“And I think love is love,” she said. “You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with anyone I want.”
She explained in January 2020 what happened when she made her parents’ commitment in 2017. It was an “exciting but very beautiful experience,” said Lovato. “I was shaking and crying, and I felt overwhelmed. But I have incredible parents. They supported me a lot. My dad said, ‘Yes, obviously.'”
He pointed to the spicy lyrics of Lovato’s 2015 hit “Cool for the Summer”, in which she sings about sexual experiences with a woman.
Make sure Lovato is just as candid in his four-part documentary on YouTube, Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which opens on March 23.
