A few weeks ago, the world wide web went wild because it appeared that Jojo Siwa came out in a Pride House video. It turns out she did.
Yesterday, she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show why she decided to do it. The 17-year-old knew by shooting that video; it would out her. But she said, “I don’t really mind, because it is true.” Then she added, “I have the most amazing, wonderful, perfect, most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world. It’s not something I’m ashamed of. It’s just something I haven’t shown the internet yet.”
She was also afraid of losing everything if she did come out. Then she realized that she would rather have nothing than not be able to love whoever she wants.
So far, she has not lost anything. In fact, she is up in Canada filming a biopic for Nickelodeon.
When it comes to her girlfriend, nothing has changed between them. The two of them are continuing their long-distance love affair over FaceTime. \
Siwa’s message has always been about loving who you are. Hopefully, her coming out will help more people come out.
