“But it doesn’t bother me—as long as people aren’t nasty, opinions are fine. I may be feminine in the way I do things, but I wouldn’t change the way I am for anything," he added.
Chris also addressed questions about Siwa’s sexuality, saying, “Love is love."
Hughes noted that JoJo now identifies more with the label “queer” and remains part of the LGBTQ+ community.
“Sexuality can be fluid, and you should be able to love who you want without judgment,” added Hughes.
