JoJo Siwa Explains Her 'Gay Awakening' and How She Realized 'Women Are My Gig'

"One thing about me is that when I was 12, Demi Lovato released the song 'Cool For the Summer.' I really liked it and listened to it all the time — I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now that I'm much older and I understand, I know what it means," she snaps quickly, referring to the subtle hints of the song about experimenting with sexuality (although Lovato has never officially confirmed the exact meaning). "Then a few years later, Jenna Dewan was on 'Lip Sync Battle.' She did a really good number of 'Magic Mike,' [and] I watched it almost every day," Siwa continues humorously.

At the time, Siwa didn't think much about these fixations, but she says there was a moment of realization in which everything finally connected. "Little me didn't know she was gay. Until. A few years later, a man was my first date. And he wanted to have sex with me, and I didn't want to, I didn't ever wanted, disgusted by the thought of it," she says. After that experience, Siwa says she gained great clarity about who she was and what she really wanted. "[I] immediately knew that men weren't my thing, women were my job. Gotta go!" she concluded, quickly stepping away from the camera. Commenters seemed to like how adorably relatable Siwa's story was (and agreed on how Dewan's lip-sync is to Watch Siwa share her full story below and follow the trend yourself.
