Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui wants you to know something.
“I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and I am so proud of it,” she wrote in an open letter published Friday by Billboard.
Her “Brave Honest Beautiful” words came in a missive targeting supporters of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump.
“You have, with your pure ignorance and refusal to understand the way the government and the world works, allowed a power-hungry business tycoon to take over the United States of America,” the singer wrote.
“You voted for a person who built an 18-month campaign off the back of your hatred. He manipulated ALL of you with such ease by speaking to the darker parts of you that had started to feel ashamed about the way you viewed the ‘politically correct’ world.

Comparing Trump to Adolph Hitler, Jauregui urged those who voted for him to “travel and read a history book.”
The 20-year-old Florida native shared her pride in being the daughter of immigrants as well as a strong woman. “[I am] proud that the sex between my thighs provides a strength and resilience in me that only other women can feel,” wrote Jauregui, “that my body curves in ways that allow me to create life within me, that my entire life is filled with adversity and doubt and people questioning my intelligence and my artistic potential and my expression of myself and my virtue and honour because I am too much woman.”
Jauregui said Americans have “failed ourselves as a nation.”
She wrote: “We are the example for the world, and we have failed our fellow humans who were watching us with hope that we would not allow hatred to prevail.”
