Months after coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community, JoJo Siwa is opening up about how she labels her sexuality.
The former "Dance Moms" star's relationship with Kylie Prew, 18, began as a friendship but took a romantic turn in late 2020.
As for her identifying as LGBTQ, the "Boomerang" singer said she knew "since I was little" and that she thought it was risky to open up to the world because she had "a lot that could have gone away because of my love life."
"I never wanted [my coming out] to be a big deal," Siwa said, adding that she did Google herself after doing so and found unsupportive comments that made it so she "couldn't sleep for three days."
"My thing is," Siwa continued, "I don't want people to watch my videos or buy my merchandise if they aren't going to support not only me, but the LGBTQ community."
On the flip side, the "Nonstop" singer said she has "never gotten this much support from the world" and it's "the first time that I've felt so personally happy."
