On August 19, 2025, Pop superstar Kesha opened up about her sexuality on the dating app Feeld, identifying as omnisexual—a revealing departure from mainstream labels like pansexuality. Whilst both orientations embrace attraction to all genders, the distinction lies in awareness and preference.

For Kesha, being omnisexual isn’t just about being open to every gender—it’s about noticing a person’s gender and letting it animate her attraction. Feeld’s Creative VP, Andrew Peet, even reported an “uptick” in members identifying similarly after Kesha’s update. In their words, pansexual individuals are “gender-blind” in attraction, whereas omnisexual individuals are “gender-aware”, with that awareness potentially enhancing the connection.

This isn’t the first time the term has been used publicly: Singer Sophie B Hawkins (of ‘Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover’) openly identified as omnisexual back in 1992, and even the Doctor Who character Captain Jack Harkness is canonically omnisexual.

Though subtle, this distinction invites broader conversations about how sexual attraction can vary—not just in scope, but in nuance. As sexuality language evolves, identities like omnisexuality and pansexuality help articulate very personal experiences of attraction that go beyond simple labels.
