The Hunger Games star identified as “a black, bisexual woman” during a Teen Vogue Snapchat takeover last January. Later, in a video they made for Rookie magazine, Stenberg said they would use the identifier “pansexual” instead of “bisexual” if more people understood what it meant. “The thing is, I use the word bisexual just because I feel like for people who don’t necessarily know that vocabulary…it’s easier to say I’m bi,” they explained. “So, I understand that erasure piece.” Earlier this year, Stenberg also shared that they identify as non-binary.

Kristen Stewart is "like so gay, dude." Having dated both men and women (including Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson and visual effects specialist Alicia Cargile), Stewart told The Guardian in March, "You’re not confused if you’re bisexual. It’s not confusing at all. For me, it’s quite the opposite she is bisexual."

Thorne came out as bi after kissing a girl in her Snapchat story, announcing her sexuality on Twitter. She has since become outspoken about bisexuality on the platform.

The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor may have played a gay high school student in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, but he told Out magazine he identifies as queer. “I’m just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people,” he said. “That’s where I’m at in the boyfriend/girlfriend/zefriend type of question.”

Rapper Angel Haze's music has touched on sexuality, and identified as pansexual in a 2013 interview with Fusion TV.

The actress initially came out as bisexual at a GLAAD event in 2010. Before her very public marriage to and divorce from actor Johnny Depp, Heard was in a four-year relationship with a woman. "I never have myself defined by the person I’m with,” Heard said this year at a panel for the The Economist in New York City. “I never saw myself defined as one particular thing or not."

The Billions star is best-known for playing the first-ever nonbinary character on TV, and made history by choosing whether to compete for Best Actor or Best Actress for the Emmys this year for their role. Asia, who discovered the term "nonbinary" when auditioning for Billions, told HuffPost they have identified as pansexual and have always felt like they “had the spiritual, emotional, physical capability of being attracted to any gender.”

Delevingne has been a queer heartthrob pretty much since she openly snogged Michelle Rodriguez at a basketball game. Delevingne has been open about being bisexual, stating to the New York Times, “My sexuality is not a phase. I am who I am.”

The True Blood star has been vocal about her bisexuality since participating in a PSA for the organization Give A Damn in 2010. She is now monogamously married to a man, but corrects those who call her straight (or "formerly" bi).

The Portlandia star and member of riot grrrl band Sleater-Kinney is clear about claiming the identifier "queer". Of course, as she told The Advocate, it's far from the only adjective she wants used to describe her acting, writing, and music career.

In 2015, the daughter of Johnny Depp was featured in the Self-Evident Truths Project, a "photographic document" of people who identify as other than straight.

This rising star has spoken openly about her bisexuality and has challenged society's biphobia and bi-erasure. When BuzzFeed News analyzed her sexuality in a judgmental way, she responded with a series of (since-deleted) tweets, beginning with "Well @buzzfeed sorry I'm not gay enough for you."

The American Horror Story actress, who has dated both men and women, told Pride Source she refuses to label herself to satisfy the masses.

Whether she was canoodling with Cara Delevingne or featured on the cover of lesbian magazine Curve (without her consent), Rodriguez has often experienced scrutiny focused on her sexuality. She addressed the rumors in 2013, when she told Entertainment Weekly, “I’ve gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too fucking curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.”

Scottish-American actor and activist Alan Cumming has been vocal about his bisexuality for many years. "I still define myself as a bisexual even though I have chosen to be with [my husband] Grant [Shaffer]," he told Instinct in 2013. "I’m sexually attracted to the female form even though I am with a man and I just feel that bisexuals have a bad rap."

In 2014, Stipe wrote an essay for The Guardian in which he said, “It’s been 20 years since I announced to the world that I was queer — and that I had found the strength and the voice to say that, and to move forward with my life as a completely out, publicly queer individual.”
