“I like queer,” she continued. “Technically I would say that I am pansexualbecause that’s how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human ismy human.”
Jojo added that she “never wanted” her coming out to be a “big deal,” but thatshe’s “known” since she was young. “My thing is, I don’t want people to watchmy videos or buy my merchandise if they aren’t going to support not only me,but the LGBTQ community,” she said.
