Demi Lovato says she's 'too queer' to be romantic or sexual with a cisgender man

• Demi Lovato recently told Glamour that she's "too queer" to be involved with cisgender men.
• She said ending her engagement to Max Ehrich in September was a "relief" and "huge sign."
• "I hooked up with a girl and was like, 'I like this a lot more.' It felt better. It felt right."

Demi Lovato opened up about her dating life in her new cover story for Glamour and declared she's "too queer" to be involved with cisgender men.

"When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am," Lovato told Christopher Rosa.

The "Still Have Me" singer, who previously came out to her parents as bisexual in 2017, called off her two-month engagement to Max Ehrich in September.

"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 said.

More recently, the pop star chopped her signature dark hair into a pixie cut and dyed it pink.

She told Glamour that it was a liberating decision, connected to the exploration of her sexuality. Rosa described the haircut as "a symbolic shedding of the heteronormative box she was confined in for years."

"I hooked up with a girl and was like, 'I like this a lot more.' It felt better. It felt right," Lovato said. "Some of the guys I was hanging out with - when it would come time to be sexual or intimate, I would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like, 'I just don't want to put my mouth there.'"

"It wasn't even based on the person it was with," she continued. "I just found myself really appreciating the friendships of those people more than the romance, and I didn't want the romance from anybody of the opposite sex."

Lovato said she's casually dating and her "heart is pretty open," even though she said she ignored red flags during her whirlwind engagement last year.

"Because I denied my intuition of all the red flags that had popped up, I had no one else to blame but myself," she says. "So I was like, 'How am I ever going to trust again?' But really, I was like, 'B----, you should have trusted yourself. If you had trusted yourself, you wouldn't have ended up in this position.'"

"I'm very much listening to my intuition, and that's not to say my boundaries or my guard is up," she added. "It's just saying my ears are perked a little higher and my eyes are open a little wider."
