How Comedy Helped JoJo Gibbs Come Out Twice to Her Mom

JoJo Gibbs always knew she wanted to be in front of the camera. Gibbs started with stand-up comedy, which would help her through the first time she came out to her mother. "I honestly couldn't bring myself to straight up say, ‘I think I'm X, Y or Z.’ I was like, ‘I don't think that I connect with men the way I think I should. And she was just like, ‘What?’” Gibbs laughed, as she spoke with InsideEdition.com. The new star of BET’s “Twenties” also revealed how she hustled her way onto Lena Waithe’s radar. InsideEdition.com’s Stephanie Officer explains. #InsideEdition

[@nathandavis5876]

oh she deserves the world, its very comforting to see someone else who had to come out twice due to fear and circumstance. its very nice to hear that my experience isnt individual and others have experienced it

[@justifiedpoetically]

When my mom found out my school outed me, I remember she vomited in the principals office🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️it took years before we were able to mend our relationship

[@nathandavis5876]

im so sorry you had that experience, ive noticed in recent years more and more schools are putting in policies that out lgbtq identifying kids without acknowledging how dangerous and invasive that is- especially if the student had come out to someone with the mindset that they could trust that adult and feel safe around them. i hope your relationship with your mom is ok and you are doing well

Why come out?

[@crypticcreature5691]

Probably because she felt comfortable at that time to come out and she wanted to embrace her sexuality

[@Lenora2020]

@@crypticcreature5691 that's just none of anyone business.. keep it private

[@samistrash6262]

@@Lenora2020 I don't think you understand lmao. In this heteronormative world, all people care about nowadays is others sexuality. Straight people make a big deal out of it when someone says they're not straight. The idea of "coming out" Isn't just telling people you're gay, it's just letting yourself be happy for once and making sure that others support you. If people treated us normally and we dated whoever we wanted without clarifying it, coming out wouldn't be an issue. But bigotry still exists sadly.
