as far as we know, she's never said or done anything to indicate that she likes women. Someone like Ellen DeGeneres or Sara Gilbert who have been open about it for a long time is not shocking. With Jinelle, it just seems out of the blue = shocking.

Some people are more private than others. Some people don't know how to indicate their sexual orientation. Texas is "traditional" .

I just looked at Jinelle’s Instagram again and saw a comment from Cassie about “finally being able to wear” the ring. That to me points even more to them not being allowed to be out as Cowboys employees.

Refreshing to know that even Cassie is openminded.

Nope, but neither is 99.99% of everything we talk about on here either.

In terms of the DCC world, yes, she is one of those "celebrities."

She's happy. In the end, that is all that matters.

I meant, is Jinelle, Ellen or Sarah? People are not the same and do things on there own timeline. There's no instruction booklet on coming out. There's no celebrity guide to coming out.

None of this is our business. But that’s what makes the podcasts so annoying - one of Shannon’s first questions is always “do you have a boyfriend?”  

1- if an official DCC podcasts asks the question, then it opens it up to being our business. I don’t agree with this but this is information that the organization is putting out themselves directly. 

2- future podcasts should be more sensitive in asking more gender neutral or non specific questions. Shannon never says “do you have a significant other?” or more gender neutral terms.  

3- actually, leave this question out of it. There are much better questions that can be asked (demonstrated when Kelli hosted the podcast with Robyn and Jessika a couple years ago)

4- the reason people are surprised is because everything within the DCC organization is framed in a very heteronormative way. So this news is not only surprising but it challenges how we discuss the girls and all of the assumptions we make about the girls. 

May I also add, some people are shocked because for them homosexuality is not the norm. And people don't understand the emotional process of coming out to family and especially the public. It not like "I got bangs!" It a sensitive, delicate, and intimate decision , NOT A PUBLIC RELATIONS OPPORTUNITY.

Because it's always been said that she had a boyfriend back in Australia and, as far as we know, she's never said or done anything to indicate that she likes women. Someone like Ellen DeGeneres or Sara Gilbert who have been open about it for a long time is not shocking. With Jinelle, it just seems out of the blue = shocking.

Is her sexual orientation any of our business? Is she one of those celebrities? Does it matter who she's attracted too? Is there a timeframe for which one should divulge their personal business? And how does one publicly indicated what/who they are attracted too?

I’m not naive nor conservative. One of my best friends is a gay man.  But why am I still shocked Jinelle’s a lesbian?  

I'm not shocked. Why are you shocked?

All of that!  And...I have a drawer full of bikini's?  I bet you do too because you are from San Diego.  

I don't like the fact that a lot of the girls dumb themselves down for the bikini shoot. Gina sounded like a wannabe Paris Hilton, I know she's smarter than that.

It's NOT hot.

I'm sure this is probably fairly new ground for them since the DCC is women run by mostly women (There's Jay for fitness, Marshall (whose gay) for makeovers & the men they bring in for judging, photoshoots, and as guest choreographers -- but are there any men on the year round regular DCC staff?). It probably never crossed their minds that they would need a clause in the contract about dating another cheerleader or a (female) staff member.

I respectfully disagree. Employment policies can be rewritten to match the changing times. And it's up to the supervisors/managers/directors to implement them. Perhaps Kelli approved and/or turned a blind eye.

Well, if Katy is moving to Australia, perhaps there is a job within the DCC organization she can apply for:)  

IMO. I think Katy and Jinelle are taking a break from the DCC world. Jinelle has been away from her family for several years and Katy is probably up for a great adventure with her beloved partner in a new country.

I also think that the VK drama was the straw that broke the camel ... Watching Kelli kowtow to Tina and VK was probably an eye opener and they don't want to witness another repeat. Also, the way VK treated Jinelle probably influenced Katy to get her lady the hell out of DCC dodge.

They can always come back after VKs tenure ;)

Is there something to suggest that VK has issues with LGBT people (referring to the comment about VK and Tina’s views about Jinelle’s relationship)? I’m not asking this in an argumentative way, just wondering if something has been said on her social media or elsewhere. She’s pretty young and has grown up in the dance world. She may be a brat, but I wouldn’t peg her as having an issue with LGBT people. 

I agree, but I can picture VK/TK creating drama from the secrecy of the relationship, be it a gay and/or co-worker relationship.

I did not know Jinelle was in the closet, nor did I know that she came out of the closet, but if anyone (VK included) used that as fodder for gossip, then they should have received a stern reminder from Kelly & Charlotte that there are anti-harassment laws against exactly this type of behavior. 

Thank you!

Just that some people, instead of saying they're against the relationship entirely, will say or do something to promote straight relationships or to interfere in other ways.  In some cases, they'll either accidentally or deliberately attempt to sabotage the relationship.  Granted, some people will do this no matter WHO the partner is, just because it's not the person THEY would have picked for themselves or the other person.

I'm probably not explaining this right, but I had thought that there were some people who would not be happy with who Jinelle chose for their own reasons.

Got it.

I was reading the other threads and was wondering what was going on with Jinelle and who the other person was in the picture.  Then, I come over here and it's all much clearer.  I don't care what Jinelle's sexual preferences are (evidence is, she's at least bi since she had a boyfriend in Australia).  Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone and growing allows you to explore other sides of yourself without having the pressures of family, friends and the familiar around you to criticize your choices.  I'm happy that Jinelle got engaged to someone who makes her happy.  I just hope that the relationship is allowed to progress naturally.

I wonder whose head exploded in the DCC management offices when Jinelle's and Katy's engagement was announced.

What does that mean?

Unless it’s only happened romantically in the past year since Jinelle retired perhaps? I mean, does age maybe have something to do with it? Many of the ones fratinising with players have been younger whereas she is 30. I don’t know the ins and out of it all but let’s face it, Kelli has always had her favourites who can basically do what they want anyway so it’s nothing new in that way. 

I agree. Let's not drag Kelli's dysfunctional leadership skills into this ... Let's just celebrate that Jinelle found LOVE (in crazy-ass DCC world). I'm so over the moon for Jinelle and Katy!!!

So according to IG jinelle just got engaged to a woman? Nothing wrong with that at all, but I am surprised. Was she out the whole time and I missed it? 

It's been a well kept secret for awhile. I'm actually surprised she made a public announcement. I thought they were just going to move to AU and then announce. Good for them!

I truly believe Gina is at an unhealthy weight.  When your bones are sticking out it’s not good. 😢

She went to the ER this weekend. I hope they advised her to eat something.

Agreed, but I have less disdain for VK than others because I blame Kelli, Kitty, etc for much of what occurred. VK is not responsible for Kelli showing favoritism towards her or for Kitty campaigning for her. She's also not responsible for the fact that she got to stay until the very end even though she should;ve been cut early on. She, nor anyone else, is going to voluntarily say, "I'm not good enough, and I'm too big. I guess I'll just cut myself!"  It's up to management to keep the standards up. I didn't hate Emily in season 7 or Morgan in season 8 for making the team even though they had nowhere the dance ability to make the team, so I won't hate VK because Kelli declined to do her job and make the necessary cuts. 

VK is however responsible for her general immaturity, lying, and for treating Jinelle poorly. With that said, while I've never behaved like that in professional setting, I've definitely treated people in ways that I regretted later and would act differently if given the opportunity. Hopefully, she makes the most of her second chance and behaves better this time. 

Just shitty people being shitty, in the shit show. Blah blah blah...

I don’t comment much but I totally agree. I have never been a big Gina fan but I always thought she had a cute, fit figure. This is downright SCAREY. She looks like she’s starved herself. It makes me wonder if Kelli and Judi really yelled at them to get skinny for the calendar.

Christina definitely got some new boobs. She’s always been thin but she does not look as frightening to me as Gina, who looks like she could pass out at any minute. 

So sad. Gina looked really good at last year's shoot.

She's part Japanese = typical build is long torso, shorter legs. I agree that hair is costumey looking long. 

YES ditch the fried extensions. Gina is just not a very pretty person DCC level without all the contouring, fake hair, fake books, etc. Hate to say it but her looks are all store bought. 

Gabby looks AMAZING and I cannot say enough how glad I am she has her life in order. I want her to stay so bad.

Tess does not have implants.

Rachel looks blonder to me, too and it looks better with the tone down tan and lighter hair. More contrast I guess. 

UGH! Tess is perfection. So unfair 😉

Calling it now ... The DRAMA is not going to end once VK (and TK) is on the team. Good luck with that shit show K, J, C, & DCC. They (K, J, & C) made their beds.
