The pop star, during the "Coming Out 2020" event on Facebook, on Friday, October 9, spoke about the moment when she started to understand more about her sexuality.
Demi Lovato realized she was queer *, thanks to a classic movie scene, at the 1999 Cruel Intentions .
* queer - It is an intersection of identities. The term queer refers to an individual who identifies himself or herself as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, etc., part of the LGBTQIA + community. Queer also means "strange" or "special."
"It happened when I was very young and I was watching Cruel Intentions, which eventually, I should not have been seeing at that age and it was the scene where they kiss on the park lawn," she said.
Then, he continued:
"I thought, wait a minute, I really like this. I want to try it. And when I was 17, of course, I tried it. "
The moment of the movie that Demi is talking about is the iconic kiss of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair, when Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah) is teaching Cecile Caldwell (Selma) how to kiss:
Lovato went on to explain how being queer has influenced her songs, and hinted that fans did not realize that some of her love songs were actually dedicated to women.
"There were times when I wrote songs for girls and my fans thought I was writing them for boys," the 28-year-old said.
"Jam e befasuar si disa prej tyre nuk e kuptuan se ca nga këngët e mia ishin për njerëz të caktuar. Unë po i ndaja eksperiencat e mia me botën, megjithatë nuk isha plotësisht e qartë me ato që thoja. Sidoqoftë, muzika ka qenë e vetmja hapësirë e sigurt për mua.”
Kur u pyet nëse kënga e 2015-ës, “Cool for the Summer” flet për një grua lesbike, Demi tha “se nuk po e konfirmoj, por as nuk po e mohoj këtë.”
"Të gjitha këngët e mia janë të bazuara në përvojat personale. Nuk mendoj se është e gabuar të eksperimentosh.”
Sa i përket historisë së Lovato-s, ajo u përqendrua në ndarjen e njerëzve në jetën e saj në tre grupe kur ndau lajmin.
"Unë ia thashë të gjithë miqve të mi dhe motrës sime të madhe kur isha 17 vjeç," tha ajo.
"They all knew before I told my parents and the public. These were my three stages: Friends, parents, the public."
