JoJo Siwa reportedly comes out as queer, sends fans into a frenzy

Popular American singer and youth icon JoJo Siwa recently took the internet by storm after a TikTok video of her lip-syncing Lady Gaga's iconic song "Born This Way" went viral all over social media.

While her video could have been an ode to Gaga's mesmerizing performance at the recent presidential inauguration, fans are convinced that this is Siwa's coming-out video.

This is predominantly due to a specific lyrical section captured in Siwa's video, which consists of the following lines:

"No matter gay, straight, or bi, Lesbian, transgendered life , I'm on the right track baby, I was born to survive"

Moreover, "Born This Way" is commonly hailed as a triumphant anthem of the LGBTQ community. Fans were quick to connect the dots, and they had a Twitter meltdown over this rumor.

Within minutes of Siwa's TikTok video going viral, Twitter was flooded with congratulatory messages as fans joined the likes of James Charles in celebrating Siwa's alleged coming out.

Fans respond to Jojo Siwa's alleged coming out video.

Siwa is one of the most popular teenagers in the world, with millions of young fans.

Having cultivated a unique, bubbly persona that revolves around unicorns, rainbows, and bright colors, the 17-year old dancer, singer, YouTuber, and fashion icon has become a cultural phenomenon.

Siwa is yet to confirm or deny any of the rumors.

However, another TikTok video from Siwa is also fueling rumors within her fanbase. In this video, Siwa can be seen dancing with another LGBTQ TikTok creator to Paramore's "Ain't It Fun."

This feels like a big deal if it is what I think it is...JoJo Siwa is hugely popular with kids. And as someone just pointed out, if it is what I think it is, she's doing it at the height of her fame when she's selling out arenas. pic.twitter.com/oD2YehbZwu

jojo siwa is such a good influence to so many young kids and her coming out (if that’s what this is) will mean a lot to people i’m happy for her and even her showing support will mean a lot to her young fans that are questioning or unsure how to feel about their identities

Over the course of her musical career, Siwa has built up a thriving social media presence, transforming her into a global phenomenon.
