As for what specific LGBTQ+ group she belongs to, JoJo said she doesn’t know herself, but responded simply with:
"“I think humans are awesome. I think humans are really incredible people. I right now am super-duper happy, and I want to share everything with the world, I really do, but I also want to keep things in my life private until they’re ready to be public.”"
The Dance Moms alum also shared her encouragement to those who are struggling to come out, as the world can be an unaccepting place.
”What matters is that you guys know that no matter who you love, that it’s okay and that it’s awesome and that the world is there for you,” she said. “Everyone’s situation is different and it might be harder for some people and it might be easier for some people to come out or to be themselves.”
“But I think coming out has this stigma around it that it’s a really, really scary thing,” she added. “People are going to say it’s not normal, but it’s your normal … It’s okay to be different.“
Amen to that!
