"I'm very fluid, and I think love is love," Demi told InStyle. "You can find it in any gender. I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want."

But now, in a recent interview with Andy Cohen, Demi revealed that she also didn't come out to her parents until 2017, describing the moment as "emotional but really beautiful".
