Earlier this summer, Michaela received support from her mom (as well as many other members of the Kennedy-Cuomo clan) after she came out asdemisexualduringa conversation on Instagram Livewith activist and author Donato Tramuto.
PFLAG describes demisexual asindividuals who only feel sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond with the person. A demisexual person can be gay, straight, bisexual, or pansexual, and can have any gender identity.
“When I was in elementary school, I feared that I was lesbian. When I was in middle school, I came out to my family and close friends as bisexual. When I was in high school, I discovered pansexuality and thought, ‘That’s the flag for me.’ " Michaela recalled.
