They’re starring in hit TV series and films like Orange is the New Black, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Hidden Figures, they’re fronting bands like Panic! at the Disco and earning US$2 million a week on OnlyFans – meet the Hollywood and music world’s pansexual stars

LGBTQ+ acceptance and understanding is improving month-on-month, year-on-year, decade-upon-decade, with Hollywood and music stars being some of the most prominent supporters of gay rights and advocates for change in society. Of course, some of these celebrities are not heterosexual themselves. Many identify as pansexual, which means being sexually or romantically attracted to people regardless of gender, in contrast with bisexual, which means being attracted to people of genders both the same as and different than your own.

From Janelle Monáe to Brendon Urie, meet 10 stars who identify as pansexual.

French singer Christine and the Queens – real name Héloïse Adelaïde Letissier – revealed her pansexuality in a BBC interview for the “100 Women” series in 2016. The French pop star said that her pansexuality “means that I can fall in love with someone regardless of their gender, regardless of how they define themselves. I don’t really see that as an obstacle, as a definition.” Explaining why she does not use the term bisexual, she continued, “Bisexual is still being binary. I’m just trying to escape any labels.”

Musician and actress Janelle Monáe, best known for her roles in films such as Moonlight and Hidden Figures, came out publicly as a “queer black woman in America” in April 2018, specifically as pansexual. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Janelle admitted she had been in relationships with both men and women and that at first she identified as bisexual. “Later I read about pansexuality and was like, ‘Oh, these are things that I identify with too,’” she said. “I’m open to learning more about who I am.”
