A week on, Donald Trump‘s shock win in the US presidential election is still leaving an unfortunate taste in the mouths of millions.

One of those especially irked by the new president elect is Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui. 

In an open letter published in Billboard, the 20-year-old expresses her extreme frustrations with Trump, his supporters, and their shared beliefs.

Perhaps most notable were her reasons. For, she asserts: “I am a bisexual Cuban-American woman and so proud.” An emphatic reference, no doubt, to Trump’s problematic stance on immigration, women, and the LGBTQ community.

Her candidness in specific regard to the latter is the first time the star has publicly discussed her sexuality.

The letter, though long, makes for a compelling read.
