YAS, MA’AM! Raven-Symonè — adorable Huxtable replacement, Mr. Cooper Hanger-on and whacky Disney psychic — has come out of the closet.
Long followed by rumors of her sexuality, like a baby Queen Latifah, Raven ended the speculation with this tweet today:
I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you
— Raven-Symonè (@MissRavenSymone) August 2, 2013
To make sure she wasn’t misunderstood, Raven retweeted these opportunistic queens:
She been out, momma just didn’t have time for bullshit. and I LIVVVEEE “@_BeatrixKiddoo: You better come out sis. @MissRavenSymone”

@MissRavenSymone Can I have your spot in the Cheetah Girls? Disney might not like you anymore.

Some were surprised.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Some raised an eyebrow and got back to work.
But, little Olivia has survived Bill Cosby, the Disney machine and being roommates with Lindsay Lohan without lapsing into Lindsay Lohan territory — or even the less severe Miley Cyrus territory. She may have lapsed into Lindsay pre-Sam Ronson, however.
And so now in celebration, let’s all indulge in this video of Raven turning it out with Drag Race alum Morgan McMichaels (around the 4:00 mark):

I love that headline post picture of Raven at the top. She looks absolutely beautiful without the 3-lbs of fake hair. The nutural hair looks so much better on her. That being said, congraulations on coming out publicly. I’m sure she will feel a big weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

Welcome to the family!

Her tweet is quite puzzling. For once: “Yay government!”???? Shouldn’t it be: “Yay the supreme court”???
Anyways, good luck to her.

@ZeeZee: hey I don’t think her tweet is at all puzzling. We all know what she ment. She like most of us sees the US Supreme Court as part of and an extension of our government.

Good for her!
