Fifth Harmony Member Comes Out as Bisexual in Scathing Letter to Trump Voters

Many celebrities have used the 2016 election as a chance to speak out for the causes they believe in. And, in the aftermath, some are taking to writing letters for the president-elect and his supporters, using their own personal experiences to educate others. Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony just joined the ranks by penning an open letter to Trump supporters in Billboard and coming out as bisexual.

“Your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we’ve made socially as a nation,” Jauregui wrote. “You voted for a person who built an 18-month campaign off the back of your hatred… He became your champion, because he spoke to the parts of you that think you are superior to the rest of us (just like Hitler did in Germany before the Holocaust! Just read his autobiography: Mein Kampf).”

She also got personal by coming out: “I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and I am so proud of it. I am proud to be part of a community that only projects love and education and the support of one another,” she wrote. “I am proud to be the granddaughter and daughter of immigrants who were brave enough to leave their homes and come to a whole new world with a different language and culture and immerse themselves fearlessly to start a better life for themselves and their families.”

Jauregui wrote that expanding one’s knowledge of the world is crucial, especially during election season: “If I could tell every Trump supporter two things, it would be to travel and read a history book. Look beyond yourselves, look at how petty the morals you uphold seem when you realize we are not the only ones.”
