Jojo Siwa’s LGBT reveal is the talk of the town after she posted a photo of her wearing a shirt given to her by her cousin. It says “Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.” she has not verbally confirmed anything but a lot of her friends and fans have congratulated her on the ‘gram. But of course, Twitter has a lot to say about it. Talks online had been quite rifted. While everyone stans Siwa as the new queen of the LGBT youth, a lot of people are expressing their concerns that parents will be mad at the reveal. Thankfully, though, a lot of parents expressed their thanks that this event can normalize LGBT youth in media.
Here are some of the sweet moments Jojo Siwa’s LGBT reveal is great for kids and parents:
A lot of genderqueer kids look up to her
if you don’t think jojo siwa coming out as gay is a big deal;
just remember that there are lgbt kids that watch her videos that may have felt so alone with their identity and seeing the person they look up to coming out makes them feel safer and more comfortable with themselves

Non-LGBT kids and parents can learn from the experience, too
People don’t realize how important it is for LGBT kids to see people like them on TV & in the media. Straight kids can also learn about what coming out is & treat others kids with love & respect even if who they love isn’t the same. Jojo Siwa snapped ???? https://t.co/K2zJAm4nY2

Hate comes from parents that teach kids about hate
A lot of people, you would be surprised how many kids in my classes are transphobic and homophobic BECAUSE of their parents and/or media. Plus yes, it’s HER choice to come out if she realizes if she’s lgbt+

Thanks for letting the kids know it’s okay to be themselves
So sweet!! My almost 6 y/o daughter Jazz wanted to make you a video but she got a little shy thinking you might actually watch it ???? She wanted to tell you how much she loves you and your music and wanted to thank you for letting her know it’s ok to be herself, no matter what ❤️

A normalized, healthy LGBT youth representation on media
I was thinking and jojo siwa coming out as gay is such a huge moment for the lgbtq+ community in this moment in time – young children are going to have normalised healthy lgbt representation in the media and that makes me so happy

Finally, the future looks bright for the new, younger generation of LGBT
If I would’ve had this when I was younger, I would’ve been so much less ashamed of who I was when I was starting to come out. I’m so proud of u Jojo and the future looks bright for the new, younger generation of LGBT kids
