JoJo Siwa Talks About the Risk of Coming Out Publicly

[penelopetaynt]

JoJo Siwa made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where she got candid about the risk of coming out publicly.

The 17 year old Nickelodeon star came out last month on social media.

“But if I lost everything that I’ve created because of being myself and because of loving who I want to love, I don’t want it.” @ItsJoJoSiwa explains

Congrats to her and I wish her the best.

The ongoing risk to her hairline, however, goes unspoken.

IMPORTANT COMMENT!

I had to unfollow a friend of 15+ years on facebook (it's the only place we still had any contact) because the minute this girl was true to herself the woman made a post 'Parents be aware! My daughters will be getting rid of all the things of her's they were given' and I was so mad that she's teaching such hate, when she was not this hateful in high school and we lived in the south

[penelopetaynt]

ugh I hate those kinds of people...

I knew she had gotten really into her church, but seeing this? I just couldn't do it. We had so many lgbtq+ friends in high school and she always seemed so accepting. And then this? Nope, can't be here for it

Religion preys on the weak minded to bend to its hate filled ideologies so I'm not surprised to read that. Sorry your friends an idiot though.

She joins the ranks of gay icons such as the great Babadook and Ashley Tisdale
