I'm happy for her. JameelaJamil
has come out as queer. The actress opened up about her sexuality in defense of her decision to serve as judge of HBO Max's upcomingwhy a non-Black person with no connection to or experience in the world of ballroom was judging a show dedicated to it.
Explaining her timing, Jamil wrote"I kept it low because I was scared of… being accused of performative bandwagon jumping, over something that caused me a lot of confusion, fear and turmoil when I was a kid. I didn't come from a family with *anyone* openly out. It's also scary as an actor to openly admit your sexuality, especially when you're already a brown female in your thirties. This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out.
Jamil acknowledged that"being queer doesn't qualify me as ballroom," but justified joining the show as a way of lending her celebrity and following to a marginalized topic:"I have privilege and power and a large following to bring to this show and its 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.
