JoJo Siwa’s brand is more than just sparkles and oversized hair bows. She’s out to tell the world to live their truth, no matter what form it takes. But one fan apparently hasn’t gotten the message. They tweeted her to say they were about to attend her performance in South Carolina, but asked her not to mention that she was gay, per Comic Sands.
As seen in this clip on Twitter from the concert, Siwa was ready to clap back. Quoting the tweet to the crowd, she went on to declare, “I’m going to take their advice, and I’m not going to say it, but I’m going to do something else.”
Siwa proceeded to go downstage, where a fan was holding up a rainbow flag with images of her surrounded by bows and butterflies. Standing on top of her piano, she displayed it to the cheering crowd, then draped it around her shoulders while she continued. “I’ve shared over half my life with the world,” Siwa said. “And being gay is part of who I am … I want you to wake up tomorrow, and I want you to be a little more proud of yourself, and I want you to love yourself. And I also want you all to celebrate others.”
