Love is love and Dove is Dove

“It was so bizarre that I had to ask to mix in different orientations,” Dove Cameron explained. “People started asking for hints about the [‘We Belong’] video and I used different combinations of emoji couples making out. When the song came out, everybody got the idea that the song was a big LGBTQ+ anthem song and I found myself in this position where everyone thought I was queerbaiting.” It was important to the fan-favorite actor to be inclusive and add representation to her own work. Unlike many of her past, highly structured roles, her music provided more room for her own identity.
Sharing more on her choice to be open, Cameron describes her preferred label as queer — it works best for her (via People). In her interview with Gay Times, she further discusses, “I was never confused about who I was, I felt like I wouldn’t be accepted and I had this strange narrative that people wouldn’t believe me.” And for what she hopes to achieve, says Cameron, “I hope it helps, that’s why I came out.” Love is love and we couldn’t be happier for this rising star. We, too, hope it helps.
