Let's Talk About Sexual Fluidity

It seems like more people—a slew of celebs, some of your friends—are no longer strictly hetero or strictly not. Katie Heaney explores the increase in elastic attraction.

“Sex has never been simple. But lately, we’ve been flooded with examples of just how nuanced it can be. A text I received from my friend Chiara framed the shift: ‘It kinda now seems like everyone is gay...or at least a little.’

The high-profile examples? Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevingne publicly admitted they were in love with their girlfriends (now exes); Parks and Rec star Aubrey Plaza, Brooklyn Nine-Nine actress Stephanie Beatriz, and It Girl Bella Thorne all came out as bisexual; best-selling authors Elizabeth Gilbert and Glennon Doyle Melton (who had previously been married to men) announced they were dating women.

Look around and you may realise that a growing number of your pals—who once had serious BFs—are now in relationships with women, too. And although it seems to happen less frequently, some men— like Younger actor Nico Tortorella—have admitted to dating guys and girls.
