JoJo Siwa Beams With Happiness As Fans Support Her Coming Out
You may have heard the news recently that JoJo Siwa has come out as LGBTQI, but you may not know who JoJo Siwa is if you don’t spend a lot of time hanging out with the teen set on YouTube, or watching Dance Moms (if you don鈥檛 know what Dance Moms is, well good for you because you can鈥檛 unsee it!), here is a quick run down on who JoJo Siwa is, thus far:
A reality television personality since the age of 10, JoJo started her entertainment career on Dance Moms, a truly heinous but extremely popular 鈥榖ehind the scenes鈥� look at a children鈥檚 dance studio initially located in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, bickering mothers and all. A few years later, JoJo released her popular single Boomerang, a song that addressed online and offline bullying that to date has received over 933 MILLION views on YouTube! To top it all off, last year JoJo was listed on Time Magazine鈥檚 annual in the world listicle – all before the age of 18!
Keeping Some Things Private
Siwa can probably expect to make an appearance on the Time 100 again this year after the news broke a few days ago that she came out as a member of the LGBTQI community – though she鈥檚 yet to claim a letter. As Siwa so wisely said when answering a fan question on an Instagram livestream about how she identifies,听鈥淚 have thought about this, but the reason I鈥檓 not going to say this answer is because I don鈥檛 really know this answer… I think humans are awesome, I think humans are really incredible people. Right now, I鈥檓 super duper happy and I want to share everything with the world but I also want to keep things in my life private until they are ready to be public. Right now what matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it鈥檚 okay. It鈥檚 awesome and the world is there for you.鈥�
听Born This Way
Siwa started dropping hints to her massive social media following last week (31.6M fans on TikTok) which included her dancing to the Lady Gaga queer anthem Born This Way and then on Friday, she posted a picture of herself wearing a gift from her cousin, a shirt with the words 鈥淏est. Gay. Cousin. Ever鈥� emblazoned on it – sending a pretty clear message!
鈥淥f course people are going to say it鈥檚 not normal, but nothing is normal. Literally not one thing about anybody is normal and it鈥檚 okay not to be normal, it鈥檚 okay to be a little different, it鈥檚 okay to be a little weird, strange, different. That鈥檚 something we should never, ever be afraid of. That鈥檚 something we should be proud of… I鈥檓 the happiest I鈥檝e ever been, that鈥檚 what matters.鈥�
And it鈥檚 good to know that Siwa is surrounded by a supportive family that loves her as she comes out as a member of the LGBTQI community, 鈥淟ike my dad said, love is universal. You guys can love whoever you want to love. And you guys can do in life whatever you want to do.鈥�
