The singer revealed her coming out journey during a recent SiriusXM interview, and explained why she continues to talk about her LGBTQ+ identity.

Singer Demi Lovato talked about the process of coming out to their Christian parents during a recent SiriusXM interview, explaining why they waited until they were 25 before having the conversation.

Lovato, who uses both they/them and she/her pronouns and will be referred to using both sets of pronouns throughout this article, said she knew she was queer growing up but didn't tell people until she was comfortable.


She said:

"I came from a Christian background and grew up queer and didn't tell people until I felt comfortable with it."
"It took me until I was 25 to come out to my mom. At the time I was bisexual, and then I realized I was pansexual and so it took me a while."

Lovato said they first had the conversation with their stepdad, and he wasn't surprised by the news.

"I was like, 'Hey, I need to tell you something.' I was like, 'I like girls, too,' and he was like, 'Yeah, I know. You have "Cool for the Summer" out.'"

Their mom was next, and was mostly focused on Lovato being happy.

"She just almost started crying and was like, 'I just want you to be happy.'"

Lovato said she greatly appreciated her parent's supportive reactions because:

"There are so many parents that don't respond that way and it breaks my heart."

Lovato wants their social spaces as safe spaces for the LGBTQI+ community and wants young people to "feel valued."

Lovato was doing the interview on SiriusXM to discuss her upcoming album REVAMPED, which will feature reworked rock versions of some of her most popular pop songs.



Lovato described their mission for the album:

"With REVAMPED, I wanted to pay homage to the songs that resonated the most with fans and played a big role in my career by breathing an exciting new life into them."
"Creating this project has been incredibly fun and allowed me to express my passion for rock music in a new way, and I feel so much closer to my older music because of it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear more!"

REVAMPED releases on September 15, 2023, and is even available for preorder on vinyl on Lovato's website.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
