Transcript

00:00When you said, I'm queer, people were interpreting that as you're open to all genders of attraction, including men.

00:09And I think they thought that, oh, maybe, and correct me if you think I'm wrong,

00:13but I think they thought you saying, I'm queer, could open up this attraction that you might have to Chris.

00:18Like, oh, now I can...

00:21Okay, welcome to being bisexual.

00:23Welcome to being pansexual.

00:25Welcome to being queer.

00:26Welcome to, like, that is where, that's where it's so funny to me that the world ran with that.

00:34Because, like, I don't want to say one thing and then change my mind one day and have the world do exactly what they're doing right now.

00:43You know what I mean?

00:44I think, I think that's why I realized queer is such a beautiful term because it doesn't, you know, it doesn't say one thing.

00:52Being queer means you are in the LGBTQIA community.

00:54Being, if you're a woman and you are bisexual, but you're with a man, you're not straight all of a sudden.

01:00You're bisexual.

01:01If you're queer and you're with a man, all of a sudden you're not straight, you're queer.

01:06But you're, you know what I mean?

01:07And so, that's where it's like, it's just people.

01:11People, I think, scratch at the surface for absolutely anything they can.

01:15And that's, that's where it's like, it's not worth it for me to get upset over something like that.

01:20But it goes back to that original conversation of what frustrates me.

01:23And it's people lying.

01:25We're looking for things.

01:26And it's like, if for this thing, for this thing, you know what I mean?

01:30Like, that's, I see what people are reaching for.

01:34But like, guys, come on, your arms are not that long.

01:37Like, damn it.

01:39But in that way, do you understand how people were thinking, if she's a lesbian, she's just attracted to other women.

01:46And then queer, does that mean that you could one day be attracted to a man?

01:50Or is that not even something that you've...

01:52Welcome to being 21.

01:55Welcome being queer.

01:57It had nothing to do with that.

01:59I will say, like, that has nothing to do with that.

02:02And, but I've changed a lot since I was 14 in the last seven years.

02:08And I'm sure I'm going to change a lot until I'm 28.

02:11You know what I mean?

02:11But I have been in beautiful relationships with women who I love and adore very much.

02:19I've been in a beautiful relationship with somebody who's non-binary.

02:22I've been in a beautiful relationship with men, throwback to my original days.

02:26Like, and that's where, I don't know.

02:28I think, I think people are...

02:30It's funny because there's a side of the internet right now that is saying,

02:35y'all are being too hard on JoJo.

02:37Can it for a second.

02:38And I'm, I'm not the type of person to give myself sympathy or care.

02:42But I see those people and I literally take a sigh of relief.

02:45And I'm like, thank you.

02:47Because I think that, I think some people are looking a little too deep into things.

02:52And I think people just want anything.

02:55And I mean, it's fine.

02:56They're going to do what they do.

02:57And so that's just kind of why I let them.

02:58Um, but I think like everyone, I guess, I guess this is where the conversation stemmed

03:04from.

03:05And with Danny, I, I, I didn't want to feel like I had to give an answer because I don't

03:09have an answer.

03:10And so I don't want to feel like I have to give one.

03:12And that's kind of where Danny brought the conversation of like, you don't have to have

03:15an answer.

03:16That's why sexuality is fluid.

03:17That's why gender identity is fluid.

03:18It's, you don't have to, you can be one thing today.

03:22You can be one thing in two years.

03:24You can be one thing in 10 years.

03:26You can be one thing yesterday.

03:27You know what I mean?

03:27And you can, you can, you're going to grow and you're going to change and people are going

03:32to come in and out of your life.

03:33You're going to realize things about yourself and you're going to have all these realizations.

03:36And I think that that's where the beautiful term queer comes into play.

03:42Sure.

03:42But I think you see that there are people out there who don't understand pansexuality.

03:47They don't understand bisexuality.

03:48They don't understand queerness.

03:50People also don't understand that I have been pansexual.

03:52When I came out, I was like, I'm not a lesbian.

03:54I'm pansexual.

03:56And that lasted for a year.

03:58And then I was like, I think I'm a lesbian.

04:00And then I was like, I think I'm gay.

04:01And then I was like, I think I'm a lesbian.

04:03And then I'm like, those are the same thing, babe.

04:05And then I'm like, I think I'm pansexual again.

04:06Oh, I think I'm a lesbian again.

04:08Oh, I think I'm queer.

04:09It's welcome.

04:11Well, we are 21.

04:12Yeah.

04:13She's figuring it out.

04:15Slowly but surely.

04:17I want to talk about your relationship with Chris.

04:19Do you understand why people are so curious about it?

04:22Of course.

04:23I will say, look, I now, now being on the outside of the house, I am the number one

04:28children, Chris, Stan.

04:29Like, I see all the edits and I'm like, I want to see more dancing.

04:33I want to see more what's happening.

04:34Like, I am the scroller on TikTok now.

04:37And so I definitely think it's fun.

04:40And I understand why, like, the people are enjoying it.

04:45And I think, I don't know, I think what's so special about Chris and I is our bond is

04:50so genuine that neither of us care what people make of it because we know our genuine friendship

04:57and we know our bond.

04:58And I think it's so special that we both just kind of have, well, okay, let me go back a

05:05little bit.

05:05We in the house had to deal with people saying we weren't genuine.

05:08And that was interesting because they were saying that for a different reason than the public,

05:15right?

05:16And so I think we kind of got into our heads, like, are you genuine?

05:21Am I genuine?

05:22And we both realized we're both incredibly genuine, you know what I mean?

05:25And so then when we got out of that house, it carried through.

05:29And it's carried through to this day.

05:31And we still speak all the time, obviously, naturally.

05:34Um, but it's, it's nice to not feel like we have to explain it or defend it to anybody

05:41almost because we had to for a day or so in the house in our own sort of way.

05:45And so now to be out of the house, it just, we just exist and it is what it is.

05:49And we're happy and we have each other.

05:52And it's, it's a, it's a great little special friendship that we have.

05:55Um, but it's, I mean, yeah, it's, it's hilarious to see, see the world.

05:59And I, like, I, I, I literally, I send him videos of us dancing all the time.

06:06I'm like, look at this angle.

06:07This one's good.
