Representation matters, and that means including everyone who makes up the LGBTQIA+ community. GLAAD defines pansexuality as "being attracted to all gender identities, or attracted to people regardless of gender." This differs from bisexuality, which is defined as "being attracted to more than one gender."

For some celebrities on this list, they first identified themselves as bisexual — such as Bella Thorne and Janelle Monáe — before realizing they were more pansexual. Read on to see what these 11 celebs have to say about their sexuality and what it means to them. And if you'd like more info on being an LGBTQIA+ teen, click here.

1 Bella Thorne

Bella originally said she was bisexual, back in 2016. However, during a 2019 Good Morning America interview, she revealed she's actually pansexual.

"Doesn't have to be a girl, or a guy, or you know, a he, a she, a they, a this, or that," Bella said. "It's literally, you like personality, like you just like a being.

3 Nico Tortorella

"I believe in the spectrum, the full universe of gender and sexuality, and probably I fall more into the pansexual fluid terms which fall into the umbrella of bisexual in LGBTQ-plus," Nico told Advocate. However, they will also refer to themself as bisexual to help fight bi erasure.

4 Cara Delevingne

In June 2020, Cara told Variety, "I always will remain, I think, pansexual ... However one defines themselves, whether it’s ‘they’ or ‘he’ or ‘she,’ I fall in love with the person — and that’s that. I’m attracted to the person."

5 Jazz Jennings

Back in 2018, Jazz tweeted, "I am pansexual. This means that I am attracted to people at a level that surpasses gender identity or sexual orientation. I love people for their souls and internal beauty."

6 Brendon Urie

The Panic! At The Disco star told Paper magazine, "I guess you could qualify me as pansexual because I really don't care. If a person is great, then a person is great. I just like good people, if your heart's in the right place ... It's just people that I am attracted to."

7 Janelle Monáe

The singer first identified as bisexual, but later told Rolling Stone as part of a cover story in 2018, "I read about pansexuality and was like, ‘Oh, these are things that I identify with too.’ I’m open to learning more about who I am."

8 Miley Cyrus

Back in 2015, Miley told ELLE U.K., "I'm very open about it – I’m pansexual. But I’m not in a relationship. I’m 22, I’m going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I’m with."

In her 2019 Vanity Fair cover story, she said, "What I preach is: People fall in love with people, not gender, not looks, not whatever. What I’m in love with exists on almost a spiritual level. It has nothing to do with sexuality...”

9 Asia Kate Dillon

In an interview with The Cut, the Billions and Orange Is the New Black star "tried coming out as a lesbian, but that didn’t feel quite right, nor did saying they were bisexual. They now identify as pansexual, saying they are 'a human being who is attracted to other human beings.'"

10 Tana Mongeau

For Pride month in June 2020, Tana tweeted, "it’s also pride month and i haven’t had the chance to go hard for my lgbtqia+ babies but i be about pansexual as hell + i stand for u all 😍🏳️‍🌈."

She shared a lengthy post on IG about her sexuality: "I’m proud to be not only a member but an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and I’m proud to say I will live my life based on loving people not for their gender but their soul. Some people call that pansexuality, everyone calls me bi, I personally don’t find a need to label it all. Love and sexuality is gender less to me."
