Not everything needs to be gay, essentially, but when you’re doing it out of spite to say, “Too much is about LGBTQ right now, you guys suck—I want to make a movie about traditional marriage and you’re not traditional.” That got to me a little bit…
JoJo Siwa speaking to Nick Viall on The Viall Files podcast about why she doesn’t regret calling Bure the “rudest celebrity” she’s ever met after the Fuller House actor’s anti LGBTQ+ comments about “traditional marriage.”
After that, it gave me a little sense of like, “Okay, you and her are never gonna agree. You and her never gonna be friends. You and her are never gonna get along. I’m never gonna be able to change her, she’s not going to be able to change me.” We can both just live life, we can both just have fun.
But I wish she was able to be a little more open, a little more accepting. I’m okay with calling her out in the way that I did. For a while I regretted it, but after I found out that article about her not wanting anything to do with LGBTQIA—that’s my people, you know what I mean? I gotta stand up for my people. That’s messed up…
Why is LGBTQIA not allowed to be good, loving, Christian—you know what I mean? You can be gay and you can look up to the lord. Why not? And so that’s where it’s like, “Homegirl!” Just… go make your movie.”

Cultural appropriation cringe.

What in God’s Holy Name are you talking about?
decrans
Homegirl this, homegirl that. She’s from Tarzana, Calif.
DarkZephyr
You do realize its 2023 and not 1973 right? The term “homegirl” made its way into general pop culture decades ago. Who was she “appropriating” it from?

I love that JoJo stood up to that miserable homophobic Christian idiot. Bure constantly says she loves everyone but then never, ever fails to relegate Queer people to the back of the room (or to an entirely different room, altogether). Her dog-whistle comments about including only traditional marriage in her shitty movies was such a clear message. She is nothing but a preachy bigot and I’m glad JoJo brought public attention to it.

Pray tell, how did she co-exist with Raven Symone on The View in an entirely separate room?

I’m not sure you’re aware of this, but the Hallmark Channel is watched by a lot of religious conservatives. We live in a fragmented culture dominated by free-market capitalism. She has every right to chase the almighty dollar in her niche demographic (same as you). Not everything needs to reflect life in your polycule.

Hate has no excuses, nice try free-market capitalism, to justify hate, she and her brother speak family values, only if you belives in their fairy tail, no hate Like good old Christain love!!
DarkZephyr
She doesn’t have to be a b**** about it, Sugar. And being that its a capitalist free market, the rest of us are allowed to comment and react. Deal with it, Toots.

Not everything is lgbtq+. Right now it’s all trans and no gay. The token gay male characters have now been completely replaced by trans characters. At most we’ll get a bisexual woman character.

That does seem to be true. The streaming LGBTQ stations only have drag shows.
Jim
thank goodness they’re making a movie about traditional marriage.
We need something like that. How unique and inventive

“But I wish she was able to be a little more open, a little more accepting” you mean like you are? Hard eye roll here.
decrans
It’s always a one-way street with these people, Frap. Self-awareness isn’t located within the wheelhouse.
DarkZephyr
In what way was she not “accepting” (Jo Jo)? Explain. And I hope your explanation has nothing to do with how LGBT people need to be accepting about anti-LGBT prejudice or that makes us hypocrites.
decrans
Eyeroll. It’s not like she strong-armed Hallmark into making exclusively heterosexual films. She said what she said and vacated to another platform with her audience. You want to force her to make films to suit your belief system? Please. Grow the f–k up.
DarkZephyr
@decrans
That doesn’t answer my question.
And nobody said a word about “forcing” her to make films to suit their “belief system”.
Which begs the question, what on earth do you mean by “belief system”? What belief system?

So tired of this fluff. May have to start reading Xtra.
