Cosby Show" child star Raven-Symone has come out as a
lesbian and is using her voice to encourage states across the nation to
legalize gay marriage.
The 27-year-old hottie broke the news publicly a few days
ago when she referenced gay marriage on Twitter. Raven-Symone, darling of "The Cosby Show" and
"That's So Raven," stirred things up a bit Friday with a tweet about
gay marriage that's being interpreted as her official coming out as a lesbian.
"I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you," the
actress wrote. The 27-year-old also retweeted a follower who said, "She been out, momma just didn't have
time for [nonsense]" (a reply to another's statement, "You better
come out sis"). But no, the first tweet didn't mean Raven-Symone's getting
married now.
She also issued a formal statement to clear up rumors about
her tying the knot in light of more states legalizing gay marriage. Symone told E! News in an exclusive
statement: "I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the
country and is being accepted. I was excited to hear today that more states
legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is
great to know I can now, should I wish to." So don't pop the bubbly yet. A
rep for the actress said in an exclusive statement to E! News, "Raven is
not getting married. She was just supporting the fact that she heard on NPR
that more states legalized gay marriage today." (E! Online)
While she may have hinted at it in the past, Symone never officially came out about
her sexuality until now. In the past, she has said her sexual orientation was a
private matter. "My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings
to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life," she wrote on her
Twitter page in May 2012. After "The Cosby Show," Symone was featured
with Eddie Murphy in his "Dr. Dolittle" films and starred in Disney
Channel's "That's So Raven." (CNN)
