JoJo Siwa’s controversial three-word statement after realising she’s ‘not a lesbian’ sparks important conversation

JoJo spoke to fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Danny Beard about her coming out journey

JoJo Siwa’s candid revelation on Celebrity Big Brother has made some people question a particular remark she said.

The 21-year-old singer has always been open about her journey with her sexuality, after coming out as pansexual in 2021.

She previously identified as a lesbian, but while taking part in the current series of Celebrity Big Brother, the star opened up to fellow housemate Danny Beard about identifying as ‘queer’.

"I’ve always told myself ‘I’m a lesbian’, but I think you - I think being here - I've realised I am not a lesbian, I’m queer," the ‘Karma’ singer told Danny.

"And I think that's really cool, I'm switching letters,” she said in a light-hearted manner. “F**k the L I am going to the Q! That's what I love about sexuality."

However her comment about ‘switching letters’ has raised eyebrows among fans, with several claiming that a person can be both queer and lesbian.

“It’s important for people to know you can be both simultaneously as well,” a viewer wrote on Instagram. “You can be a lesbian and queer.”

“Queer lesbians are a thing, no?” an Instagram user penned.

Another fan defended JoJo and said: “She’s just figuring herself out.”

LGBTQ+ charity, Stonewall, defines 'queer' as 'a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity'.

In the Reddit forum ‘lesbiangang’, one commenter said: “I love how they can never just be like, ‘Oops, I was wrong, I realised I’m not a lesbian’ they always have to go ‘f**k them d**e bitches’. Like, don’t let the door hit you on the way out, we didn’t want you here anyways.”

Another Reddit user complained: “This is so disappointing to see during lesbian visibility week. saying 'f**k the l' is disgusting behaviour.”

A third opined: “Having the audacity to call herself 'queer' while also saying 'f**k the L' is quite something.”

Someone else shared: “I found this very disrespectful…”

Fans of JoJo and the show have defended her during her coming out journey. On X, a viewer said: “JoJo's so young and allowed to still be confused about her sexuality. It took me a long time to figure out mine, she deserves that same opportunity."

And, in a follow-up tweet, the CBB viewer added: "Sexuality can be very confusing, especially when you're young. It's more than OK to think a label fits you and then to realise a few years laters that it actually doesn't."

Tyla has contacted JoJo Siwa's representative for a comment.
