Jennifer Lopez uses gender-neutral pronouns to introduce her daughter at Los Angeles Dodgers Blue Diamond Gala, gets praises from fans for embracing Emme's identity
On June 16, Jennifer Lopez performed at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation's sixth Annual Blue Diamond Gala and delivered a full-throttle performance complementing her unparalleled aura. It was a memorable night for Jennifer Lopez, because she and her 14-year-old daughter Emme Maribel Muiz shared the stage to perform Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" and Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."
Everyone's attention was drawn to J.Lo when she used the gender-neutral term "they" to introduce Emme. Fans praised her for embracing rather than hiding her child's identity. The correct usage of gender-neutral words is critical for the LGBTQ+ community to convey acceptance. When someone of Jennifer's stature does something like this, it instantly raises awareness in the community.
J.Lo. said, "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 favourite duet partner of all time. So if you will indulge me."

Jennifer Lopez earned everybody's respect at Los Angeles Dodgers sixth annual Blue Diamond Gala 2022. Her courteous gesture toward Emme also comes coincidentally during the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month (June 1- June 30).
One Twitter users, heavenly fate, found J.Lo's move to be great and hopes everybody will become more accepting of everyone's diversity and ultimately turn into unconditionally loving humans.
@BuzzFeed This is nice ! Hopefully we’ll get more progressive and accepting of everyone’s differences and eventually become unconditionally loving beings
Another Twitter user, Alejandra, said that Jennifer is an awesome mom because she respects Emme's identity.
@JLo Go Emme! And way to be an awesome mom by respecting your baby’s pronouns ❤️
Princess Consuela B.H. feels Jennifer's honoring her daughter is purely a matter of love. She added that haters would hate, but Lopez did a fantastic job.
@JLo @Dodgers @notchrisvilla @JLo honoring her daughter is nothing but pure love. Haters gonna hate, but it’s 2022, can everyone just please evolve already?! Well done mama. 🤩
While some people were critical of J.Lo's gesture, Suzanne stated that a mother is always there for her child.
@JLo @Dodgers @notchrisvilla Here we have a mother supporting her child. If that makes Emme happy why wouldn’t you use the pronouns they request. It’s really not that difficult to use they/them.
It must be said that Emme is a lucky daughter, and Jennifer is an understanding and an empathetic mother.
