“You Like What You Like” Actress Bella Thorne Has Come Out As Pansexual
"I didn't know until somebody explained to me really thoroughly what that is.”
Bella Thorne has revealed that she identified as pansexual.
The actress explained that she only began to use the term when it was properly explained to her.
“I’m actually pansexual and I didn’t know that. Somebody explained to me really thoroughly what that is,” she told Good Morning America.
As it’s still not a hugely popular term within the LGBT+ community, Bella went on to explain what being pansexual means to her.
“You like beings,” she said.
“You like what you like. Doesn’t have to be a girl or a guy or a he or she or they or this or that. It’s literally you like personality.
“You just like a being. It’s literally you like personality,” she added.
The actress has been in relationships with both men and women leading some fans to believe she was bisexual.
However, like many celebs including Miley Cyrus, Kesha, Sia and Sarah Paulson, the 21-year-old is not just attracted to those who identify as male or female.
Irish organisation BeLonG To defines pansexuality as “someone who could be attracted to any person, regardless of their gender.”
