In a recent Maxim interview, Bella Thorne revealed that she shares the same celebrity crushes as many of us. She admitted to having a soft spot for Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, proving that even celebrities have relatable interests and preferences.
While chatting with Maxim, Bella shared her love for Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, describing them as “toasty.” We totally agree with her admiration for these two celebrities. Bella went on to express her affection for Demi, calling her “fire” and “pretty toasty,” and described Miley as “dope.” But what makes Bella’s response noteworthy is that it acknowledges the authenticity of bisexuality. By acknowledging both male and female celebrities as her crushes, Bella is making a profound statement about sexual orientation.
The biSexual community is struggling with a serious problem of being erased and invalidated by society. Many people doubt the validity of their identity and view them as confused individuals who need to pick a side. This misunderstanding still persists despite an increase in the number of young people identifying as biSexual. Unfortunately, there is very little representation of biSexuals in mainstream media, which only reinforces the idea that they don’t exist. However, Bella’s nonchalant attitude towards her biSexuality unintentionally sends a powerful message that being biSexual is a valid and acceptable identity.
Bella nonchalantly disclosed her sexual orientation in response to a fan’s inquiry on Twitter. Although she didn’t make a big deal out of it, the reaction from her peers in the industry was far from positive. Bella acknowledged that being open about her sexuality is challenging, especially given her job. She has been subjected to criticism from colleagues and even studios have hinted at disapproval of her unconventional persona, although they haven’t explicitly expressed it.
Bella’s unwavering commitment to staying true to herself is truly remarkable, despite the obstacles she has faced. This is exemplified in her approach to her romantic relationships as well, as she stresses the importance of finding a partner who accepts every aspect of your identity. She’s currently in a relationship with Tyler Posey and values the fact that he fully embraces her individuality. Bella’s unapologetic self-expression is incredibly refreshing and serves as an inspiration to others who may be struggling with similar issues. Her example proves that it’s perfectly acceptable to be unique and that there are others out there on the same journey towards self-acceptance.
