All Openly Bisexual, Sexually Fluid, Pansexual, or Queer Celebrities
For countless celebs, love has no gender boundaries — and they aren’t afraid to talk about it. In recent years, so many stars have come forward to discuss their sexuality: how they learned they were attracted to more than one gender, what labels they’ve found best fit them, and more. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including stars like Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga, Drew Barrymore, and more, have come out as bisexual, pansexual, sexually fluid, or queer, and it’s a big, big deal for bi visibility.
While a number of stars have only recently felt comfortable coming forward about their sexuality, others — like Thandie Newton — have been proudly proclaiming their sexuality for years. Thandie Newton reflected on sexuality with The Advocate back in 2008, musing that there’s no difference between being with a man or a woman. “We’re all potentially bisexual; it all depends on your circle, your upbringing, and all kinds of things,” she said. “Or maybe I’m just talking about myself. I could’ve easily fallen in love with a woman over a man.”
Drew Barrymore parsed her words even less, in an interview with Contact back in 2003. “Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual,” the actress said.
Love is love is love, and no matter who you love and who you’re with, we love love and honor love in all its forms. Ahead, discover the celebrities who have spoken up about identifying as bisexual, pansexual, sexually fluid, or queer.

Alison Brie
While reading Celebrity Thirst Tweets with Buzzfeed, alongside her husband Dave Franco, Alison Brie revealed she’s bisexual.
Brie read a tweet saying, “Listen, I am bisexual for a reason, and that reason is strictly to be used in a threesome by Dave Franco and Alison Brie.” To which she then said: “That’s also why I’m bisexual.”
Wayne Brady
“I am pansexual,” Wayne Brady told People in 2023. “Bisexual — with an open mind!”
“In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn’t say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything,” he explained of his sexuality. “So, I came to pansexual because — and I know that I’m completely messing up the dictionary meaning — but to me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board. And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place. I took pan to mean that not only can I be attracted to any of these people or types physically, but I could be attracted to the person that is there.”
Sophia Bush
Sophia Bush opened up about her sexuality in a candid essay to Glamour in April 2024.
“I sort of hate the notion of having to come out in 2024,” Bush wrote. “But I’m deeply aware that we are having this conversation in a year when we’re seeing the most aggressive attacks on the LGBTQIA+ community in modern history. There were more than 500 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills proposed in state legislatures in 2023, so for that reason I want to give the act of coming out the respect and honor it deserves.”
“I’ve experienced so much safety, respect, and love in the queer community, as an ally all of my life, that, as I came into myself, I already felt it was my home,” she continued. “I think I’ve always known that my sexuality exists on a spectrum. Right now I think the word that best defines it is queer. I can’t say it without smiling, actually. And that feels pretty great.”
Antoni Porowski
Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski opened up in 2019 about how he doesn’t love to label his sexuality, while “fluid” and “queer” may come close. “I don’t really know and I kind of like not knowing,” he told GQ UK.
“I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it dishonors women that I’ve been in love with,” he explained.
Drew Barrymore
In 2003, Drew Barrymore star told Contact Music that she had “always considered myself bisexual.”
“I love a woman’s body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful,” she continued, adding that when she was younger she “used to go with lots of women.”
Lil Nas X
The “Old Town Road” singer first came out as gay in June 2019, saying he felt that “the universe was signalling him to do so.” In January 2023, the universe apparently signaled for him to acknowledge his attraction to women as well.
“be fr would y’all be mad at me if i thought i was a little bisexual”, he tweeted, before following up with “that was my last time coming out the closet I promise”.
Diplo
Diplo revealed he’s sexually fluid, telling Emily Ratajkowski on an episode of her High Low podcast that he isn’t “aroused by men that much,” but, “I’m sure I’ve gotten a blow job from a guy before. … For sure. 100 [percent], yeah.”
He added, “I think the best answer I have is I’m not not gay. There are a couple guys … I could date, life partner-wise.”
Gillian Anderson
Back in 2015, the X Files alum talked about how she would be open to a same-sex relationship. “I wouldn’t discount it,” she said to The Telegraph of being with a woman — or any gender, for that matter. “I did it before and I’m not closed to that idea. To me a relationship is about loving another human being; their gender is irrevelant.”
Noah Schnapp
Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp came out as gay in the most Gen-Z way: in a TikTok. In the short video, Schnapp is seen lip-syncing to an audio saying, “You know what it never was? That serious. Quite frankly, it will never be that serious.” In text on top, he wrote, “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know.'”
“I guess I’m more similar to [Will] than I thought,” he wrote in the caption. Life imitating art I guess!
Emily Ratajkowski
Talking to The High Low podcast on Dec 22, actress and model Emily Ratajkowski talked about dating and her sexuality without mentioning any labels, per Page Six. In one point in their conversation, the newly-divorce mom of one said she’d recently dipped her toes in the dating app world. “I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to get it,” she said.
She then added that she’s “gotten a few direct requests from women” which to her was “exciting.” We love her new era!
Shay Mitchell
Shay Mitchell talked about her sexuality in 2017, a big topic of conversation at the time because of her character in Pretty Little Liars, who was openly gay. “People always ask me, ‘You play a gay character? Are you gay? Are you straight? Are you this? Are you that?’ Look, Emily doesn’t label herself, and I don’t label myself either,” Mitchell revealed. “I fall in love with the spirit of somebody. Love is love, and that’s something that I’ll keep saying.”
Most recently, Mitchell made headlines by seemingly coming out as bisexual through a TikTok. It all happened when she dueted another user who said, “If you identify as bisexual, do you own a green velvet couch?” In the duet, Mitchell then pans to her own green velvet couch. We just love how casual it was!
Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato first came out as sexually fluid in 2017. After their overdose in 2019, however, they started understanding their sexuality even more. “When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am,” Lovato told Glamour, noting that they were just “too queer” to be with a cisgender man.
Brendan Urie
Talking to Paper Magazine in 2018, Panic! At the Disco vocalist Brendan Urie came out as pansexual. “I guess you could qualify me as pansexual because I really don’t care,” he said. “If a person is great, then a person is great. I just like good people, if your heart’s in the right place. It’s just people that I am attracted to.”
Sasha Lane
The Euphoria star has played her fair share of queer roles, so it might not be surprising to some that the actress part of the LGBTQ+ community. “If my heart wants it, my heart wants it. That’s been with anyone. I love who I love or like what I like,” she said during an interview for ASOS Magazine.
Dove Cameron
Dove Cameron, who has described herself as both bisexual and queer in the past, first came out during an Instagram Live. “I went on Instagram Live and said ‘Guys, I really needed to explain something to you. Maybe I haven’t said it, but I’m super queer. This is something I want to represent through my music because it’s who I am,’” she recalled in an interview with Gay Times.
Rebel Wilson
Pitch Perfect alum Rebel Wilson revealed in a June 2022 Instagram post that she’s in a relationship with sustainable clothing brand founder Ramona Agruma. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” Wilson captioned a sweet selfie with her partner, adding two heart emojis and a rainbow emoji.
Aunjanue Ellis
King Richard star and Oscar nominated actress Aunjanue Ellis publicly disclosed in June 2022 that she identifies as queer. “There is an assumption made of me — a presumption made of me. Is it because I’m a Black woman from Mississippi? Is it because I’m older?” she told Variety. “I don’t know what the mechanics are that goes into them not processing, or them not just being able to believe that in the same way I am Black, I am queer. This is who I am.”
Ariana DeBose
Ariana DeBose has been very open about her identity and being part of the LGBTQIA+ community for years. During her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech at the 2022 Oscars, DeBose called out her identity, and gave hope to kids just like her.
“Lastly, imagine this little girl in the back seat of a white Ford Focus, look into her eyes: You see a queer, openly queer woman of color, an Afro Latina who found her strength in life through art. And that’s what I believe we’re here to celebrate,” she said during her moving speech.
“To anybody who has ever questioned your identity ever, ever, ever, or you find yourself living in the gray spaces, I promise you this: There is indeed a place for us.”
Stephanie Beatriz
Back in 2016, Stephanie Beatriz shared a one-word tweet in which she came out as bisexual. “Yup,” she wrote above a tweet she retweeted of a quote from Aubrey Plaza that read, “I fall in love with girls and guys. I can’t help it.” In 2017, Beatriz’s character on Brooklyn Nine-Nine also came out as bisexual.
Willow Smith
“I love men and women equally, and so I would definitely want one man, one woman. I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people,” Smith said on the Facebook web series Red Table Talk.
“I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences,” Smith continued. “I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more.”
Angelina Jolie
“I’ve been open about [being bisexual] because I learned – and I wasn’t looking to be promiscuous, to be bisexual or anything – I just suddenly looked at a woman and felt those things that I normally felt about a man,” Jolie once revealed in a sit-down interview (see the video HERE!). “And I had a beautiful time loving another person who happened to be a woman.”
Sarah Paulson
In the past, recent Tony winner Sarah Paulson has refused to define her sexuality. “All I can say is, I’ve done both, and I don’t let either experience define me,” Paulson told PrideSource. “I don’t let having been with a man make me think I am heterosexual, or make me want to call myself that, because I know I have been attracted to women — and have lived with women.”
“So, for me, I’m not looking to define myself, and I’m sorry if that is something that is seen as a rejection of or an unwillingness to embrace [my sexuality] in a public way, but it’s simply not,” she explained. “It’s simply what’s true for me, and that’s all I can speak to.”
Dakota Johnson
In 2017, Dakota Johnson talked to Vogue about her single life. “I’ve been in a phase of my life where I’m fascinated by young women coming to terms with their sexuality,” she said. “I guess, by proxy, I have been experiencing that in my own life, and it’s very interesting to me.”
“Can we make things really juicy? Can we say that I’m taking this time to explore my bisexuality?” she added.
Amandla Stenberg
The Hate U Give star Amandla Stenberg came out as bisexual in a 2017 Snapchat video, sharing: “It’s a really, really hard thing to be silenced and it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourself into shapes that you just shouldn’t be in. As someone who identifies as a black, bisexual woman, I’ve been through it and it hurts and it’s awkward and it’s uncomfortable… but then I realized because of Solange and Ava DuVernay and Willow [Smith] and all the black girls watching this right now that there’s absolutely nothing to change.”
“We cannot be suppressed,” Stenberg continued. “We are meant to express our joy and our love and our tears and be big and bold and definitely not easy to swallow.”
Sia
Australian singer-songwriter Sia came out as bisexual in 2013, tweeting per Insider: “I’m queer. I don’t really identify as a lesbian because I’ve dated predominantly men. But I’ve certainly dated women.”
Tessa Thompson
“I can take things for granted because of my family — it’s so free and you can be anything that you want to be,” Thompson told Porter. “I’m attracted to men and also to women. If I bring a woman home, [or] a man, we don’t even have to have the discussion.”
Taylor Schilling
In March 2019, Orange Is The New Black star Taylor Schilling opened up to the UK Times about her sexuality. “I’ve had relationships with men and I’ve had relationships with women,” the actress said. It’s been about the person, not their gender.”
“It’s a much more radical political act to not reduce oneself to a label simply to make other people feel more comfortable,” she continued. “I have had serious relationships with a lot of different people. I like to live freely. There are infinite ways to be in love; we just don’t have the language for it yet.”
Chyler Leigh
The Grey’s Anatomy star opened up about her sexual identity in a heartfelt letter in 2020 writing, “When I was told that my character [Alex Danvers in the CW’s Supergirl] was to come out in season 2, a flurry of thoughts and emotions flew through and around me because of the responsibility I felt to authentically represent Alex’s journey,” wrote Leigh.
“What I didn’t realize was how the scene where she finally confessed her truth would leap off the pages of the script and genuinely become a variation of my own. IRL.”
Da Brat
Da Brat opened up for Variety‘s Power of Pride series in 2020.
The rapper said that while she “always felt like being private is the better way to go” she decided to come out publicly because her girlfriend is very open about her life on social media.

Jameela Jamil
Jameela Jamil’s sexuality became a topic of conversation on Twitter after landing a judging gig on ballroom competition show Legendary. Since ballroom’s history has deep ties to LGBTQ+ communities, some questioned why Jameela had been chosen, and named her as queer in the process.
Ultimately, Jamil responded like this: “Twitter is brutal. This is why I never officially came out as queer. I added a rainbow to my name when I felt ready a few years ago, as it’s not easy within the south Asian community to be accepted, and I always answered honestly if ever straight-up asked about it on Twitter.”
“But I kept it low because I was scared of the pain of being accused of performative bandwagon jumping, over something that caused me a lot of confusion, fear and turmoil when I was a kid. I didn’t come from a family with *anyone* openly out,” Jamil continued. “It’s also scary as an actor to openly admit your sexuality, especially when you’re already a brown female in your thirties. This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out I’m jumping off this hell app for a while because I don’t want to read mean comments dismissing this.”
Jason Mraz
“I’ve had experiences with men, even while I was dating the woman who became my wife,” “I’m Yours” singer Jason Mraz told Billboard. “It was like, ‘Wow, does that mean I am gay?’ And my wife laid it out for me. She calls it ‘two spirit,’ which is what the Native Americans call someone who can love both man and woman. I really like that.”
Cara Delevingne
“A lot of the friends I have who are straight have such an old way of thinking,” supermodel Cara Delevingne told Glamour. “It’s ‘So you’re just gay, right?’ [They] don’t understand it. [If] I’m like, ‘Oh, I really like this guy,’ [they’re like], ‘But you’re gay.’ I’m like, ‘No, you’re so annoying!'”
Kristen Stewart
“It’s cool that you don’t have to nail everything down anymore. That whole certainty about whether you’re straight or gay or whatever,” KristenStewart told The Guardian. “You’re not confused if you’re bisexual. It’s not confusing at all. For me, it’s quite the opposite.”

“Girls are into me — that’s no secret. Hey, I’m into them too,” Plaza told The Advocate. “I fall in love with girls and guys. I can’t help it.”

Alia Shawkat
“I was a tomboy growing up, and I remember my mom asking me when I was 10, ‘Are you attracted to boys or girls?'” Alia Shawkat shared with Out. “I said I don’t know. Now I consider myself bisexual, and I think balancing my male and female energies has been a big part of me growing as an actor.”
Lucas Hedges
“I felt ashamed that I wasn’t 100 percent, because it was clear that one side of sexuality presents issues, and the other doesn’t as much,” Hedges told Vulture. “I recognize myself as existing on that spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual.”
Jillian Michaels
“Let’s just say I believe in healthy love. If I fall in love with a woman, that’s awesome,” Jillian Michaels told Ladies Home Journal. “If I fall in love with a man, that’s awesome. As long as you fall in love…it’s like organic food. I only eat healthy food, and I only want healthy love!”
Aaron Carter
The late Aaron Carter made an emotional statement on Twitter in 2017: “To start off, I would like to say that I love each and EVERY ONE of my fans. There’s something I’d like to say that I feel is important for myself and my identity that has been weighing on my chest for nearly half of my life.”
“This doesn’t bring me shame, just a weight and burden I have held onto for a long time that I would like lifted off of me,” he continued. “I grew up in this entertainment industry at a very young age and when I was around 13-years-old I started to find boys and girls attractive. There were years that went by that I thought about it, but it wasn’t until I was 17-years old, after a few relationships with girls, I had an experience with a male that I had an attraction to who I also worked with and grew up with.”
Daya
Daya made a since-deleted Instagram announcement for National Coming Out Day in 2018: “One day late but happy 1st National Coming Out day to me! What a crazy thing!” the singer wrote.
“All I gotta say is follow your gut and don’t feel like you owe any sort of explanation to anyone,” she continued. “Your sexuality is yours only so build with it at a pace that works for you. I’m proud to be part of the LGBTQ community with a girl I love who makes me feel more like me every day. the support has been beyond and though it wasn’t always easy I also recognize how privileged I am to have had so much of it, so I especially wanna be there for those of u who aren’t surrounded by the most accepting family/friends/communities. stay authentic, talk through it with people u trust, know you’re loved and that I’m thinking of u.

But I choose to be with you.’”

Billie Joe Armstrong
“I think people are born bisexual, and it’s just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of, ‘Oh, I can’t,'” Armstrong said to The Advocate in 1995. “They say it’s taboo. It’s ingrained in our heads that it’s bad when it’s not bad at all. It’s a very beautiful thing.”

Margaret Cho
“[When] I was 18 or 19 … I thought I was a d—. I thought I was a lesbian,” Margaret Cho told HuffPost. “And then I realized, ‘No, I’m actually attracted to men as well.’ So then it became something really confusing for me. My family had a gay bookstore, they were in the gay community, they were working in and around the gay community, so they really were aware of gay people and lesbians but they didn’t understand bisexuality.”
“It’s still a sensitive issue for many people in my life,” she continued. “They really don’t get bisexuality. I’ve had this suspicion with every partner that I’ve ever had [that they didn’t get it]. I’ve never been with another bisexual person. I’ve only been with either straight or gay people, so, it’s a very suspicious place. Nobody has ever really accepted that I’m truly bisexual. Nobody has ever allowed it. It’s still very much a point of argument between anybody that I’ve been with. People just don’t accept it.”
Bella Thorne
“I’m actually a pansexual, and I didn’t know that,” Thorne said on Good Morning America. She clarified by saying this means “you like what you like.” Going on, Thorne said, “Doesn’t have to be a girl, or a guy, or … you know, a he, a she, a this, or that.

Nico Tortorella
“The more I’m having these conversations, the more comfortable I am identifying as bisexual,” Tortorella, who identifies as non-binary, told Vulture. “I’ve been so hesitant about using the word for so long, because it does have a negative connotation in our generation.

Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe initially thought of herself as bisexual. “But then later I read about pansexuality and was like, ‘Oh, these are things that I identify with too.’ I’m open to learning more about who I am,” she told Rolling Stone.
Halsey
“I’m a young, bisexual woman, and I’ve spent a large part of my life trying to validate myself — to my friends, to my family, to myself — trying to prove that who I love and how I feel is not a phase,” Halsey said in a GLAAD video, per People. “It’s not part of some confusion that’s going to change or could be manipulated.
