Bella Thorne is part of a growing number of celebrities who have opened up about their pansexuality. But it’s hard not to notice that nearly all of the celebrities coming out are women.
Bella Thorne revealed for the first time that she is pansexual in an interview with Good Morning America on Tuesday.The 21-year-old actress says she defines pansexuality as, “You like beings. 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.”
And it’s resonating with young people in particular. A 2017 study of 2,200 non-heterosexual individuals, published in The Journal of Sex Research, looked into their sexual and demographic characteristics and found that younger people are more likely to identify as pansexual, compared to those who identify as bisexual, lesbian or gay.
“When you look back at celebrities who came out early on, it was by and large women who paved the way, like Ellen [DeGeneres] and Rosie [O’Donnell],” Zeke Stokes, GLAAD chief programs officer, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. She continues: “U.S. society generally does give more license to women to identify as bisexual and to express their sexuality in certain ways… but it’s not like women have full rights and freedoms associated with their sexuality or their sexual and reproductive health or well-being — see, for example, #metoo, Time’s Up, and the relatively narrow range of bodies and ages of women portrayed as ‘sexy’ in Hollywood.
While there’s a history in Hollywood of male actors staying in the closet lest they risk losing their fan base and hurting ticket sales at the box office, an increasing number of gay, bisexual, gender-fluid and pansexual actors are having successful careers.
