When it comes to coming out, it’s a huge decision, and it’s also very scary at the same time. She said: “This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out. I’m jumping off this hell app for a while because I don’t want to read mean comments dismissing this. You can keep your thoughts. I know that being queer doesn’t qualify me as ballroom. but I have privilege and power and a large following to bring to this show, (as does the absolutely iconic Megan Tee Stallion,) and it’s beautiful contestants and ballroom hosts. Sometimes it takes those with more power to help a show get off the ground so we can elevate marginalized stars that deserve the limelight and give them a chance.”
Congratulations on your bravery, Jameela!
