Demi Lovato opens up about her queerness

The queerness in me was, like, ready to explode when I filmed the music video at Pride. I was so ready to be an activist. And then people would ask me, 'Why are you so passionate about this?' And I would clam up, like…" She shakes her head again. "When I watch that video, to this day, there's a part of me that kind of cringes. I wanted so badly to be the person that I am today. I just wanted to find out who I was."

Lovato said, "I'm ready to feel like myself." She recently told EW that she has been fully accepting her queerness, adding, "I am too gay to marry a man right now."
