Los Angeles, Sep 19 (NationPress) Pop sensation Demi Lovato has shared her thoughts on why she finds queer spaces to be a source of comfort.

The 33-year-old artist expressed in an interview with PAPER magazine: “My bond with queer club culture is profound... I enjoy going out with friends, dancing, and reveling in the energy of queer environments because it feels secure for me.”

She elaborated, “Visiting a straight club doesn't offer the same sense of safety. I perceive more risks there. In a queer setting, I’m surrounded by friends, and I know I’ll have a fantastic time.”

Identifying as pansexual, Lovato recently reverted to using she/her pronouns, citing the fatigue of explaining they/them to others. She remarked: “I've consistently felt more at ease in queer spaces, likely because queer individuals live so authentically, encouraging me to embrace my true self.”

Growing up in Dallas, Texas, Lovato faced considerable religious shame upon coming out.

She noted, “As someone who identifies as queer, having supportive individuals around me to embrace my identity was something I yearned for as a child in Texas.”

“Being a queer kid in Texas, I dealt with a lot of religious stigma about coming out, particularly growing up in a region deeply influenced by religious beliefs. Now, I can step out and live my truth, which feels incredible.”

The singer, married to fellow musician Jutes, relishes the enthusiastic responses her music receives from her LGBTQ+ audience.

She shared, “I'm also celebrating through my music. I played 'Kiss' at a queer event, and the reaction was fantastic. I’m thrilled with the love it received.”

Her forthcoming album, “It's Not That Deep”, represents how much lighter her life has become.

She told the outlet: “I’m currently in a space where my energy feels very light. With my recent marriage, the overall tone of my life has brightened. I wanted a project that encapsulated that.”
