Fans And Fellow YouTubers Are Showing Support For Lilly Singh After She Comes Out As Bisexual
IISuperwomanII has some new superpowers.
YouTuber and Canadian actress Lilly Singh, 30, officially came out as bisexual via a Twitter post on Sunday, February 24th.
The tweet checked off three boxes: "Female," "Colored" and "Bisexual," which Singh self-identifies as her superpowers.
✅ Female ✅ Coloured ✅ Bisexual Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But no… https://t.co/L68ls7RoUL— Lilly (Pre-Order Be A Triangle 🔼) (@Lilly (Pre-Order Be A Triangle 🔼)) 1551056775

Including from fellow YouTubers:

Prior to this, Singh posted a video in November 2018 saying she was taking a break from social media altogether.
"I'mma be real with y'all, I am mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted...I've enjoyed it, I love it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's a lot … I'm also about happiness. And I always preach that. You should be happy, you should take care of yourself."
I'll see you soon...www.youtube.com
"I could be happier. I'm not my optimal happiness right now. I could be mentally healthier, I don't feel like I'm completely mentally healthy, I think there's a lot going on up here that I need to address that I'm not able to, constantly pumping out content."
While she resumed creating and posting videos the following month, this post marked a big step forward for her.
And aside from fellow YouTubers, the general LGBTQ community is welcoming her with open arms.
