Raven Symone Gay, Out of the Closet? Twitter Post Reveals 'That's So Raven' Star as Lesbian, 'I Can Finally Get Married!' Exclaims Actress/Singer
Raven-Symoné has been flying mostly under the radar since her Disney TV show "That's So Raven" ended in 2007. The actress and singer has made guest appearances on various Disney shows and released an album "Raven-Symoné" in 2008. Her most successful venture in recent years was surely her turn as Delores van Cartier, the lead role in Broadway's "Sister Act," which Raven played for five months in 2012.
Amidst all her work and laying low, rumors about Raven's sexuality have flooded the Internet and gossip magazines. Now, in a series of supportive tweets, it seems as though the star has given fans an answer: yes, Raven is a lesbian.
Shortly after 2 p.m. today, Raven took to her Twitter account to post the vague message, "I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you." Likely referencing the recent legal gay marriages in Rhode Island and Minnesota, Raven congratulated the state governments while simultaneously coming out of the closet.

"She been out, momma just didn't have time for bullsh*t. and I LIVVVEEE," said @H8teTheeSquares in response to @_BeatrixKiddooo saying, "You better come out sis." Others responded that Disney may not love Raven so much anymore and that love is love.
