“I’ve never spoken about this before, but my grandfather himself was a trailblazer,” Demi Lovato said earlier this week. “He was brave enough to come out in the 1960s, and I feel a lot of my spirit has come from him. He passed away a few years later and I only wish he could have been able to see all the progress that has been made.”
