Siwa said while her decision was not easy, she came out as part of the LGBTQ community to help others dealing with the same experience.
“Of course not everybody in the world is going to accept it right now, but there are so many people who are going to accept it right now,” she added. “And like I say, even if there’s a million people that don’t accept it, there’s a hundred million that do.”
“I was like, ‘Technically it was a really big risk posting that,” Siwa said. “… But if I lost everything that I’ve created because of being myself and because of loving who I want to love, I don’t want it. That’s not what I want if I can’t love who I want to love, that’s one of the most important things to me.”
