Here is what to knowJennifer Lopez has been a long and consistent vocal supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community.She has often spoken about her aunt Myrza, who was g*y and faced hardships in her era. In 2014, during the 25th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, Lopez spoke about her aunt while praising the LGBT community. She said:“I've always felt a tremendous love from the LGBT community and the LGBT community has always supported me and returned that love.”She added:“She was my mom's older sister and she lived in New York City. I lived in the Bronx and she lived in Manhattan, it was like worlds away! She wanted to be an actress and I always wanted to be like her...grew up g*y in a time when it meant life could be very difficult and that her struggles were mostly kept to herself.”Jennifer Lopez attends "Office Romance" UK Premiere - Arrivals - Source: GettyJennifer Lopez concluded that when she grew up, she learned of her aunt’s struggles and appreciated the difficulties she dealt with. In 2020, she became the backbone of her nibling (a gender-neutral term that refers to a child of a sibling, replacing ‘niece’ or ‘nephew’), Brendon, who is transgender and the second child of Lopez’s sister Leslie Lopez and brother-in-law, Rob Scholl.The On the Floor songstress introduced Brendon in a short film, shared on her Instagram. The film titled Draw With Me documented their journey of coming out to their family as transgender. They were only 16 when they shot the film. In an interview with E! News, they explained the struggles of their shoot and said:“There were definitely moments where I had to kind of like center myself before speaking. Because, obviously, it talked about pretty dark subject matter. Constantine helped create this space [where] it was perfectly okay for me to say, ‘Hey, I need a minute to just center myself and...deal with things.’”This is not all. One of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s twins, Emme, now identifies as a transgender male named Oskar Jacob Muñiz and goes by he/him pronouns. He was born in 2008 as Emme Maribel Muñiz, and has used gender-neutral they/them pronouns since 2022.Oskar first drew attention in June 2022, when his mother introduced him on stage using they/them pronouns, during a performance at the Dodger Stadium Blue Diamond Gala. It sparked a debate about his identity. She said:“The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this. So this is a very special occasion. They are very, very busy. Booked. And pricey. They cost me when they come out. But they're worth every single penny because they're my favorite duet partner of all time.”In 2025, Jennifer Lopez headlined World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. where she performed with the G*y Men’s Chorus of Washington and debuted her Pride anthem, I'm Free. Additionally, she made a surprise appearance at The Abbey in West Hollywood to support local queer patrons and join the Sunday Service Drag Brunch.
