JoJo Siwa has opened up about being a “gay icon” in a new interview. Since her debut on the hit series Dance Moms, the 19-year-old talent has skyrocketed to fame within the entertainment industry.
From her popular films and music to her YouTube channel and judging duties on So You Think You Can Dance, Siwa has remained booked and busy.
Alongside her expansive career, the young talent has also made waves in the LGBTQ+ community. Back in 2021, Siwa seemingly came out as queer on TikTok after she uploaded a video of herself dancing to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way.
She later confirmed her sexuality when she shared a photo of herself dressed in a t-shirt that said: “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” A few months after her landmark announcement, Siwa gave further clarification on her sexuality when she told People Magazine she identified as pansexual.
