It’s hard not to notice the trend these days: celebrities tripping over themselves to announce some new LGBTQ identity. Hollywood, never one to miss a chance to virtue signal, has turned these labels into the latest must-have accessory — social currency for the woke elite. And like clockwork, this obsession with identity politics is trickling down to young people, who are now being nudged, prodded, and sometimes outright pressured to slap a label on themselves just to fit in.
We’re now in a culture where people wear these labels like medals, and not having one is practically a scarlet letter. If you don’t jump on the bandwagon, you’re not just out of touch; you’re treated like you’re betraying the spirit of the times. This is Hollywood’s new export: conformity masquerading as individuality.
Want a perfect example of how the LGBTQ movement has become a marketing gimmick for attention-seeking celebrities? Look no further than JoJo Siwa, the former child star who came out as a lesbian in 2021. Apparently, she isn’t a lesbian anymore (and likely never was) and just felt pressured to slap on a trendy label.
“I felt pressure from people on the internet, people around me, people in my life, that I had to label myself,” she admitted.
Now she’s dating a man, but don’t expect her to admit she’s straight. That would be too honest and wouldn’t serve her brand. Instead, she’s doubling down on the alphabet soup nonsense.
“I think the most beautiful term now is queer,” JoJo told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “I think queer is an umbrella of, ‘Look, I’m just me.’ And I think the most beautiful thing about the LGBTQIA community is love is love. And that goes both ways.”
She added, “There’s loads of beautiful, different sexualities. Sexuality and queerness is a lovely rainbow that has all different places, and it also has places on this rainbow that we don’t even know exist yet.”
Translation: She’s straight, but she’s still milking the LGBTQ identity for all it’s worth. Because heaven forbid a celebrity just be normal without turning their personal life into a progressive circus act.

Of course, this isn’t really about Siwa. Her story is just a symptom of a much bigger cultural shift — one that demands conformity to an ever-expanding lexicon of make-believe sexual and gender identities.
This isn’t organic self-discovery. It’s a top-down imposition, driven by social media mobs, activist groups, and a compliant entertainment industry. The message is clear: if you’re young, you must pick a label, and it better fit the narrative. If you hesitate, if you question, if you just want to live your life without a hashtag, you’re suspect. But slap on a trendy LGBTQ+ label and start spouting nonsense about “living your truth,” and suddenly you’re a hero.
Here’s the dirty little secret: tolerance isn’t enough anymore. You must be a card-carrying member of the community—or you’re the enemy. The rainbow flag — once supposedly a symbol of inclusion — has become something more sinister: a banner demanding fascist conformity to their ideology.
The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife. In the name of “diversity,” they’re erasing true individuality. In the name of “acceptance,” they’re breeding a new strain of intolerance that would make the thought police proud. This isn’t progress—it’s ideological tyranny wrapped in a rainbow pride flag.
It’s time to push back and reclaim the right of young people to grow, question, and be themselves without fear of the LGBTQ cult. True acceptance means allowing for uncertainty, for difference, for the possibility that some may not want or need a label at all. Anything less isn’t progress; it’s just a new kind of conformity, dressed up in the language of liberation and tolerance.
