Anthony Allen Ramos of GLAAD said nonbinary people live outside the categories of male or female and should be respected for who they are.
“Demi has always been one of the loudest and proudest advocates for LGBTQ people and issues. In sharing their story today, they will educate countless people around the world and reach other nonbinary people with a message of pride,” Ramos said in a statement.
The singer behind such hits as 'Sorry Not Sorry,' 'Heart Attack' and 'Stone Cold' recently shared their personal struggles with mental health and addiction in a YouTube documentary, which followed their journey prior to and following a near-fatal overdose in 2018.
