Demi Lovato on playing Naya Rivera's love interest on 'Glee': 'She's a badass, I love her'

'Heart Attack' beauty Demi Lovato has revealed that playing a lesbian on hit U.S. series 'Glee' has been easy for her as she's good friends with her on-screen love interest, Naya Rivera.

The pair have been pals for some time and Lovato confessed to MTV News that she knew the nature of the role she had been asked to play before signing up as part of the show's cast and is enjoying it so far:

"Well I took a meeting so before I even booked the role. I knew what the role was going to be, and [Naya Rivera and I] had an awesome time working together. She's such a badass; I love her. And I've been friends with a lot of the people from the cast beforehand, so I feel right at home."

Last week, the beauty told Ryan Seacrest that being able to stand up for the LGBT community by portraying a character in a same-sex is empowering and she's proud of what she's doing:

I don’t want people to take from this, ‘Oh my god, Demi is kissing a girl.’ I want people to take from it this is actually an incredible step in our generation today where I’m able to play a young lesbian on primetime TV… I’m honored to be able to be hopefully inspiring people with my character to be who they are and not be afraid of it or ashamed."
