Erased Between The Lines - Are Reactions To JoJo Siwa's Relationship Biphobic?
In case you’ve been living under a rock, or don’t know any gay people, JoJo Siwa has been all over social media the last few weeks. And no, it’s not because she’s been doing Tiktok dances.

Recently, my partner and I got engaged. We’ve known each other for eight years, been together for four, and have discussed (in-depth) our plans for getting engaged, married, and eventually moving to the countryside à la Practical Magic, where we’d sit on our wraparound porch and drink midnight margaritas.
