Actress Raven-Symone Christina Pearman, known simply as Raven-Symone or Raven, has come out lesbian in cheering for recent gay marriage wins.
“I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you,” she tweeted on Friday to her more than 469,000 followers.
Raven-Symone, who is best known for her roles on NBC's The Cosby Show and Disney Channel's That's So Raven, was likely referring to the start of marriage laws in Minnesota and Rhode Island.
However, the 27-year-old actress denied she is getting hitched.
“I am very happy gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted,” Raven-Symone told Gossip Cop. “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.”
In 2012, Raven-Symone addressed speculation about her sexuality: “My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm dating to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life … However that is my right as a HUMAN BEing whether straight or gay. To tell or not to tell. As long as I'm not harming anyone.”
