JoJo Siwa revealed she’s always known she was queer, but never felt a need to place a label on her sexual identity. She came out as LGBTQ+ earlier this year, but it wasn’t until April that she revealed she’s pansexual.
“I don't know, bisexual, pansexual, queer, lesbian, gay, straight. I always just say gay because it just kind of covers it or queer because I think the keyword is cool. I like queer,” she said. “Technically I would say that I am pansexual because that's how I have always been my whole life is just like, my human is my human.”
