\n\tAlanis Morissette<\/a> identifies as pansexual, she revealed in a podcast appearance earlier this week. The hitmaker \u2014 who just dropped her first holiday album, Good Weather for Immaculate Conception, featuring new single \u201cTo an Empath at Christmas Time\u201d \u2014 visited the Handsome Podcast as the podcast trio\u2019s first in-person guest for an episode that was uploaded on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I\u2019m not sorry for the songs that came from it. Those are pretty amazing,\u201d comedian Fortune Feimster, who co-hosts the show with Tig Notaro and Mae Martin, said at one point toward the end of the episode, adding, \u201cDid it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m pansexual, so yeah,\u201d Morissette shared in reply. \u201cI get everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGLAAD<\/a> defines someone who identifies as pansexual as \u201ca person who has the capacity to form enduring physical, romantic, and\/ or emotional attractions to any person, regardless of gender identity.\u201d The term is different than the term bisexual, which means that a person is attracted to people of more than one gender (whereas pansexual means gender is not a determining factor in attraction).<\/p>\n

\n\tNotaro then asked, \u201cWait, you\u2019re not really pansexual, are you?\u201d to which Morissette confirmed, \u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJoking that they should\u2019ve launched the episode with this tidbit, Notaro said, \u201cHow did I not know this?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou know, I like to leave it for the epilogue,\u201d quipped Morissette. \u201cI like to confuse people on the way out. Is it confusing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMorissette, who\u2019s got three Billboard 200 No. 1 albums under her belt and whose top hit \u201cIronic\u201d soared to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996, is married to husband Mario Treadway, aka the artist Souleye. The couple wed in 2010 and are parents to three children.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer 14-track holiday album, Good Weather for Immaculate Conception, arrived on Friday (Nov. 6). The set was led by her recording of \u201cBeautiful Star of Bethlehem,\u201d featuring Brandi Carlile and Steve Martin; Morissette gets snowed-in in a music video for second single \u201cTo an Empath at Christmas Time,\u201d released on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe lights are green and red and shimmering white\/ These days are super dark and even quieter nights\/ All this time to sense what all year felt not right\/ Nothing to distract us from this heavy ride,\u201d she sings on the opening of the midtempo \u201cEmpath.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the song\u2019s chorus, Morissette says, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to smile big for us\/ Nor have a joyous time\/ You won\u2019t have to hold your breath until New Year time\/ Your precious sensitivity has felt like curse and crime\/ But you\u2019re not alone with your SOS inside\/ To an empath at Christmas time.\u201d<\/p>\n
