Demi Lovato recently interviewed and graced the cover of Latina magazine. The sexy Glee star talked about being in a lesbian relationship on the show as well as kissing a girl on prime time television. Lovato, a superstar supporter, told Latina, “Yes, we kissed in the first episode, but I want people to pay less attention to the fact that I’m kissing a girl. Focus on the fact that having a young, multicultural lesbian couple on prime time is a huge step in our generation. It’s showing people that it’s OK to be who you are. Don’t be ashamed of it.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! [justjaredjr]
