Jojo Siwa recently addressed the backlash she has received for expressing her dislike of the word ‘lesbian’.
Siwa said, “I don’t like the word itself. It’s just like a lot. But I mean, at the end of the day, that’s what I am. … It’s like the word moist. It’s just like … ugh!”
After catching heat over what she said during a recent interview, she said, “I’ve been going through my comments and I just want to make something super clear: I never said that lesbian was a dirty word and I never, ever would say it was a dirty word because it is not. It is not a bad word. It is not a slur and it is especially not a word that I am ashamed of saying or ashamed of identifying as by any means.”
She added, “I don’t hate the word ‘lesbian,’ I just – whenever someone talks to me about my sexuality, I just say that I’m gay. It’s not the word that flows off the tongue for me if that makes sense.”
