Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo, daughter of New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, announced this week that she is “demisexual,” which apparently means she is only attracted to people with whom she has an emotional connection.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s daughter declares she is “demisexual”
“When I was in elementary school, I was afraid I was a lesbian. When I was in school, I told everyone close to me that I was bisexual,” Michaela said during a live broadcast with Donato Tramuto.
Michaela went on to say that she has “always dreamed of a world where no one had to come out of the closet, because it was assumed that everyone’s sexuality is fluid, but in a world that force-feeds cisgender heterosexuality, coming out is a lifelong process of unraveling internalized and stigmatized social constructs.”
After coming out as part of queer month, the 23-year-old said she feared being perceived as “attention-seeking,” acknowledging that “it’s fashionable not to be straight.”
Daily Wire emeritus Ben Shapiro made the same observation Tuesday, noting that people who are only attracted to others with whom they have an emotional attachment often describe women.
“Being a member of the intersectional coalition is now so appealing that we’re making up terms like ‘demisexual’ so people can join,” Shapiro posted on Instagram.
According to WebMD’s idiotic new definition, “demisexual people are only sexually attracted to someone when they have an emotional bond.”
