"I did that because of pressure," JoJo Siwa opens up about coming out as a lesbian
JoJo Siwa earlier came out as pansexual and later announced that she identifies as lesbian. The singer gained popularity in the LGBTQ+ community and even discussed creating a new genre of music called "Gay Pop." Siwa entered into a relationship with Chris Hughes, and since then, she has been discussing her new romance in various interviews.
Due to her relationship with Hughes, people have been questioning her sexual identity. After coming into a relationship with Hughes, the Dancing Moms alum said in an interview with E! News that she now identifies as queer, which is an umbrella term.
JoJo Siwa, in a June 20 interview with Daily Mail, said she had earlier boxed herself in and came out as lesbian under pressure. In the interview, when she was asked about her sexuality, Siwa replied:
"When I came out at 17, I said: “I’m pansexual, because I don’t care [about gender].” But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said: “I’m a lesbian.” And I think I did that because of pressure."
When she was asked under what kind of pressure she did that, she answered:
"In a weird way, I think it came a little bit from inside the [LGBTQ] community at times. From people I know, from partners I’ve had. You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, “Oh, I’m a lesbian”, you have to be a lesbian. And the truth is, sexuality is fluid."
JoJo Siwa mentioned that she gained a deeper understanding of her sexuality on Celebrity Big Brother, where she met Chris Hughes. In the show, she opened up to Danny Beard and said:
"I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer.’ And I think that’s really cool."
The Hollywood Reporter also published an interview with Siwa on June 20, in which she stated that "labels" are present, but not everyone needs to have one. Karma Singer also noted that the most beautiful thing about sexuality is its "fluid" nature.
According to People, JoJo Siwa ended her relationship with Kathy Ebbs, who is non-binary, after the conclusion of Celebrity Big Brother. She met Chris Hughes on the show, and on June 2, Siwa publicly announced her romantic relationship with Hughes.
