It is definitely an exciting news day for the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo gang. The reality family not only will be adding a brand new baby into the fold, as Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell confessed the news that she is with child, but two more of the reality royals are making huge announcements today regarding their sexuality. That's right, Mama June Shannon and daughter Lauyrn "Pumpkin" Thompson are officially coming out as bisexual.
According to Huffington Post, the mother and daughter duo explained that they were bisexual, without classifying themselves with the terms.
In an interview with Inside Edition, Pumpkin and Mama both explained that they had attractions to other women.
"I'm attracted to females, and I'm attracted to males," Pumpkin explained on the interview from last Friday. While Mama June seemed to be there for moral support, Lauryn took the opportunity to out her as well.
"She is gay, too!" Pumpkin shouted out about her mom. "June is gay, too!"
While it seems that June has definitely been with women in the past, she told the interviewer that she only experimented with women, but is very much attracted to men.
Shannon used a quote from one of our favorite movies, Coyote Ugly, to better explain her sexuality.
"I played in the minors but never went pro," the star admitted.
Pumpkin isn't the first LGBT member of her family, as her Uncle Lee "Poodle" Thompson is an advocate for gay rights in the south. He and his boyfriend also got married in an episode of Honey Boo Boo prior to the cancellation.
