Demi Lovato is protesting heterosexuality by shaving her head bald.
The 28-year-old singer made the announcement in an interview with Glamour magazine.
She slammed society’s heteronormative standards after her previous relationship with a man didn’t work out.
“This past year, I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, ‘This is a huge sign.’ I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth,” she shared.
Lovato said she’s waiting for the right time to break out of the “heteronormativity box” she was “confined in for years”.
“I know who I am and what I am, but I’m just waiting until a specific timeline to come out to the world as what I am. I’m following my healers’ timeline, and I’m using this time to really study and educate myself on my journey and what I’m preparing to do,” she said.
Reflecting on a moment in 2014 when she dyed her hair pink and shaved half her head, she admitted she was upset by the negative public response.
“It reignited that fear inside of me of being who I really am.”
Democrats like Lovato are working toward a future goal of eliminating gender and heterosexuality as society’s standard.
