“It’s Definitely a Mutual Love”: JADE shares how she’s stepping up as an LGBTQIA+ ally

Little Mix's Jade Thrilwall is releasing the deluxe edition of her debut album, arriving next week, JADE. In an exclusive with GAY TIMES, she shared the journey of the album and broke down the new tracks that will be added to the album. But that was not all, as she also showcased her love and support for the LGBTQIA+.

The Angel of my Dream singer reminisced about how, while she was doing sign-ins around the country, she received love and support from the community.

“On release week, I did a lot of sign-ins around the country. I was so emotional because of LGBTQIA+ fans coming up to me, whether it was just being lovely and thanking me, or hearing from so many gay couples that one of my songs was their wedding song — all these moments make it so worthwhile as an artist. Seeing young members of the LGBTQIA+ community at sign-ins or shows, sometimes with their parents or someone supporting them, really fills my heart with joy.”

But not only that, the pop star also gave her perspective and spoke on how she is a strong ally for the community.

“I think now more than ever, I need to be stepping my ally pussy up and showing up in ways even I haven’t done before. I’m always looking online and seeing what my fans suggest about how to do that. So it’s definitely a mutual love, and it has grown stronger as a solo artist. I just hope that comes across as authentic.”
