We have watched Raven Symone grow up from the adorable cute girl from The Cosby Show to being the Disney media darling of her own series That's So Raven.
Raven Symone has managed to avoid the usual trappings of being a childhood star by effectively reinventing herself. She seems to have added one more side to her diverse profile, apparently she is gay.
I personally have not heard of any gay rumors about Ms. Symone but they have allegedly been circling for sometime.
Well Raven put the rumor mill to bed by confirming her sexuality in a recent tweet on Twitter, ""I can finally get married."
Raven followed up with E! News when she shared, ""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."
This is pretty cool. We are accustomed to mainstream stars coming out but it is very encouraging when African-American famous folks decide to share their sexuality. The more this happens the less of an issue it will become within the African-American community.
Raven Symone thank you for stepping out and representing in a big way!
You so rock Raven!
