💗💙💛 Happy #PansexualVisibilityDay!

📸 Celebrities like @ddlovato, @MileyCyrus and @Caradelevingne have put pansexual love on the map in recent times.

🌈 But here are eight #LGBTQ+ icons you perhaps didn’t know identified as pan. 🧵

1️⃣ JoJo Siwa

💃 The @YouTube star was crowned runner-up in last year's hit TV series Dancing with the Stars – making history as the show's first same-sex pairing.

🎀 Earlier in the year she came out as "technically" pansexual, but said she preferred the words gay or queer.

2️⃣ Bob the Drag Queen

📢 "For the record I identify as pansexual and non binary," the @RuPaulsDragRace winner proudly stated in 2019.

📺 The comedian is now travelling across small-town America to recruit drag queens in the Emmy-nominated series 'We're Here'.

3️⃣ Asia Kate Dillon

💰 The @SHO_Billions star made history as the first major non-binary character on American television.

🫶 After coming out as a lesbian and then bisexual, they now identify as pansexual, saying they're "a human being who is attracted to other human beings."

4️⃣ Jazz Jennings

🏳️‍⚧️Catching the public's attention when she was just 5, Jennings became one of the youngest ever people publicly documented as trans.

🇺🇸The YouTuber turned into one of America's most influential teens, saying: "I love people for their souls and internal beauty."

5️⃣ Angel Haze

🎤 Tackling themes of homophobia and racism in their music, Haze's identity of being Black, agender and pansexual are central to their artistic work.

🗣️ "If you can make me feel, if you can make me laugh, then I can be with you," the rapper and poet explained.

6️⃣ Yungblud

🎙️ "It doesn’t matter what genitalia you’ve got or what you identify as, if I love you, I love you," the chart-topping star announced after coming out as pan.

📢 The singer said he came out in the hope that it would make others feel comfortable to do the same.

7️⃣ Layla Moran

🇬🇧 The @LibDems MP became the first openly pansexual lawmaker in the UK when she came out two years ago.

📰 @LaylaMoran has since criticised the British tabloid press for threatening to out her, which led her to make the announcement herself on social media.

8️⃣ Janelle Monáe

🎵 Initially identifying as bisexual, the singer and actor came across the term pansexual and realised that "these are things that I identify with too."

💕 Monáe says her attraction to others is based on their energy, not their sexuality or gender identity.
