JoJo Siwa is opening up in a big way on Celebrity Big Brother UK. During a heartfelt moment streamed live from the house, Siwa shared that she no longer identifies as a lesbian, but as queer. Jumping up and down with excitement alongside drag artist Danny Beard, she shouted, “I’m switching letters!” Siwa said, “I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean?…I think that’s the thing, I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,’ and I think that’s really cool.” She added, “F**k the L.

I’m going to the Q! That’s what I love about sexuality.” Throughout her time on the show, Siwa’s journey of self-discovery has taken center stage. In an earlier episode, she revealed she’s been questioning her gender identity and may eventually identify as nonbinary — but stressed she wasn’t ready to go public yet, leading to fan backlash over the pressure she faced. For JoJo Siwa, though, it’s clear: she’s finding her voice — and her joy — on her own terms.
