Sigh. Siwa seems to have brushed things off, though, saying that it was &#8220;all love. Always&#8221; between her and Cyrus, after speaking with her directly.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes first began monopolising our attention after coupling up upon leaving the <em>Big Brother<\/em> house. From the moment the two got a little too close for comfort, people have been side-eyeing them both. This has mainly had to do with fans feeling that Siwa was treading a dangerous line between flirty banter and cheating. Hughes, on the other hand, who is a decade older than Siwa, has skipped off scot-free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First came the intimate conversations, then came the cuddling. Meanwhile, Siwa&#8217;s now-ex<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/culture\/jojo-siwas-partner-kath-ebbs-slams-mickey-rourkes-homophobic-big-brother-comments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kath Ebbs slammed fellow housemate Micky Rourke<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for his homophobic remarks to Siwa. Alas, their relationship was not to last, and Siwa broke up with Ebbs after leaving the <em>Big Brother<\/em> house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Siwa would later announce that she wasn&#8217;t, in fact, a lesbian as she had originally felt to be. But instead told fans <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/culture\/i-feel-so-queer-celebrity-big-brother-uk-star-jojo-siwa-shares-an-update-on-her-sexuality\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I feel so queer&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and that she was dropping the &#8216;L&#8217; and going for the &#8216;Q&#8217; instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now, the relationship has officially been confirmed, with Siwa confirming that she is &#8220;head over heels&#8221; for Hughes in a recent interview for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2025\/jun\/02\/jojo-siwa-interview-surviving-mickey-rourke-and-finding-love-on-celebrity-big-brother\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But while she is happily diving into a new relationship, Siwa&#8217;s audience is anything but content: some going as far to claim she&#8217;s turned &#8220;straight&#8221; and others arguing that she&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=l5yk2ByxS5g\">&#8220;damaging&#8221; the queer community<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;

She&#8217;s either doing gay wrong enough for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/mychalthompson\/jojo-siwa-karma-most-disliked-music-video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">millions of people to review bomb her first solo song<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or being criticised for her &#8216;pick me&#8217; behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While no one should escape criticism, the level of hate Siwa has recieved as a young, queer person figuring themselves out on a global stage seems somewhat\u2026well, shitty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queer imposter syndrome and wanting to belong<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queer, gender-non conforming folks, trans, bi and pansexual people know a little something about feeling ostrocised by the LGBTQIA+ community. Discrimination from inside the community can look like biphobia, transphobia and many other marginalising behaviours that result in real harm being perpetuated against groups of people who don&#8217;t conform to binary ways of being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a bisexual person in a hetero-presenting relationship myself, I know just how hard it can be to feel as though you can and should take up space in LGBTQIA+ spaces. We&#8217;d do well to remember that perpetuating biphobia or discrimination of any kind leads to people feeling as though they aren&#8217;t enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, we should all be mindful of is that sexuality isn&#8217;t a linear experience for many people, who will undoubtedly go on many journeys of discovery as they grow and develop into themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody knows who they are at 22.
