JoJo Siwa says she was “pressured” by LGBT culture to identify as lesbian

The YouTube star unwittingly exposes the agenda of "gender theory"

When JoJo Siwa was 17, she revealed to her fans that she identified as “queer,” that is, at she said at the time – not “straight.”

“I just always believed that my person was going to be my person,” she said at the time. “And if that person happened to be a boy, great, and if that happened to be a girl, great! Of course people are going to say it’s not normal, but nothing is normal. Literally not one thing about anybody is normal and it’s OK not to be normal, it’s OK to be a little different, it’s OK to be a little weird, strange, different. That’s something we should never, ever be afraid of. That’s something we should be proud of.”

This message, you would think, is an ideal advertisement for the LGBT lobby, but it appears in retrospect to have not been enough for this powerfully influential faction.

However, Siwa, who is now famously dating (male) reality TV star Chris Hughes, has revealed she felt pressured to identify as a lesbian.

“When I came out at 17, I said: ‘I’m pansexual, because I don’t care,’” she recently told the Daily Mail’s You Magazine. “But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said: ‘I’m a lesbian.’ And I think I did that because of pressure.”

“You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, ‘Oh, I’m a lesbian,’ you have to be a lesbian. And the truth is, sexuality is fluid,” she continued.

“In a weird way, I think [pressure] came a little bit from inside the [LGBTQ] community at times,” Siwa also said.

In truth, this isn’t “weird” at all, it’s quite consistent with the LGBT community’s beliefs, which do not stop merely at rejecting heterosexuality. Its aim is to normalize homosexuality and other alternative sexual lifestyles.

Siwa fully embraced the surface-level message of the LGBT movement by “coming out” as simply interested in women as well as men, but in an entertainment industry where alternative sexual lifestyles are a status symbol as Jonathon Van Maren points out, she seems to have felt she needed to do more to gain clout.

Now, as she told a fellow contestant on Celebrity Big Brother UK, she feels the “queer” part is satisfactory.

“I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean?” she told a fellow contestant during filming. “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. I’ve dropped the L and I’ve gone to the Q baby! That’s what I love about sexuality.”

She’s taken this to its natural conclusion by embracing her attraction to stereotypically masculine Hughes, another Big Brother co-contestant. Sexual fluidity, it seems, also includes sexual normalcy for Siwa.

“Young people are encouraged to be anything but straight, and ‘queer’ is a catch-all. The LGBT movement’s assertion that sexual orientation is fixed — the basis of their push for ‘conversion therapy bans’ across the Western world — is directly contradicted by their assertion that sexuality is also fluid,” Van Maren writes.

Indeed, Siwa has unwittingly stumbled across this fundamental flaw with queer theory, the philosophical and academic basis from which modern people argue that sexuality is an inherent characteristic of who a person is.

She is correct when she says “sexuality is fluid” in a way she might not realize – sexual desires and acts are things people experience, not things that define who they are.

Every single human being is made precious in the image of God, Who made us male, female, and biologically programmed for heterosexuality.

Who we may be attracted to or what we may experience along the way will never change this fact. As Christians, we know that homosexuality is something that can be repented of and resisted because it doesn’t define who a person is.

No matter how someone chooses to identify, they are still never defined by their sexuality.

How many other young people are there out there like Siwa, who are being pressured to identify as something that they do, not based on something that they are?

Let’s pray that her unwitting willingness to challenge the fallacies of queer theory gets their attention.
