I like the freedom of being able to flirt with whoever I want.' In a 2020 interview on 'Radio Andy,' Demi recalled coming out to their parents three years earlier. 'I didn't officially tell my parents that I saw myself ending up possibly with a woman until 2017,' they explained. 'It was actually emotional, but really beautiful. After everything was done, I was like, shaking and crying. They were so supportive.' Demi added, 'My mom was the one that I was super-nervous about, but she was like, 'I just want you to be happy.' And that was so beautiful and amazing. I'm so grateful.' More recently, in a March 2021 interview on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, Demi confirmed they are pansexual. I'm part of the alphabet mafia and proud.' 'I heard someone call the LGBTQIA+ community 'the alphabet mafia.' … That's it! That's what I'm going with.
