Naturally, within the days earlier than JoJo spoke up, many took to social media to remind Miley — who’s pan and has a boyfriend — that she ought to know higher. Some jokes are merely in poor style.
Bias takes many kinds. Society usually accuses bi and pan males of “really” being homosexual. That very same society accuses bi and pan ladies of “really” being straight. (So attention-grabbing that this prejudice assumes that everybody’s simply into males, isn’t it?)
This identity-erasing speak rises up even inside the LGBTQ+ neighborhood — even throughout Pleasure Month.
However JoJo isn’t any much less queer for having a boyfriend. Hiding her boyfriend and pretending to have a distinct sexuality label could be the alternative of the purpose of Pleasure.
JoJo’s final accomplice was nonbinary. Now she’s relationship Chris Hughes. Identification and labels describe who you’re and even who you date, however they don’t dictate your life.
