Demi Lovato has said she does not feel the need to label sexuality and rejects the use of labels of sexual orientation in general.

The 23-year-old singer and former Disney actress said the emphasis should be on individual’s connection with each other.

“It's something I don't think needs to have a label: As humans, It's just about a connection with someone,” Lovato told People Magazine.

Lovato has spoken out about her sexuality on several occasions in the past, saying that she believes love is fluid.

Fans speculated whether Lovato was bisexual or bicurious after she released her song ‘Cool for the summer’, which included a risque line, in 2015.

Lovato, who is an advocate for the LGBT community, boycotted North Carolina with her tour-mate Nick Jonas over an anti-LGBT law.

The controversial new law is deemed to legalise discrimination against the LGBT community. The Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act governs which bathrooms transgender people are allowed to use and relinquishes anti-discrimination protections for LGBT people. The new legislation essentially changes the definition of sex in the statewide anti-discrimination law to sex at birth, thus requiring people to use bathrooms which correspond to their biological sex.

“It's something I'm passionate about because I get it; I grew up in Texas,” Lovato explained. “Being different in Texas or in the South in general, you can be judged”.

“I grew up in a home where there was absolutely nothing wrong with somebody identifying as another sex or liking the same sex. People will say, 'Thank you so much for all that you do.' And my response is: It's just something that people should already be doing.”

A representative for Lovato did not immediately respond to request for comment.
