00:00 Most people go through their entire lives without having to come out once, but Gigi Gorgeous has now done it three different times.
00:05 So Gigi Gorgeous is already known as being one of the most preeminent trans voices on YouTube, and also for perpetually slaying the game,
00:13 because let's look at that contour. I mean, come on.
00:16 She posted an eight-minute video yesterday where she talked about falling in love with a woman and coming out as, surprise surprise, a lesbian.
00:22 "It's been killing me inside every single day, and I'm so happy
00:26 I'm finally sitting down and talking to you guys and letting you guys know that from this point forward, I am a lesbian."
00:31 Previously during her career, she has come out as a gay man and as a trans woman,
00:37 which I'm sure has some people on social media perplexed, but let me just break something down for you.
00:41 So there is a difference between a person's sexual orientation and their gender identity.
00:45 Sexual orientation deals with who you love and who you want to sleep with.
00:49 Gender identity means, like, how you identify gender-wise.
00:53 So yes, it is possible for someone to identify as trans and also gay or lesbian. In her video,
00:59 she also talks about how limiting labels can be and how people can change over time, which is totally true.
01:04 "And I think it's truly disgusting that people feel the need to push other people into categories or labels of sexuality."
01:13 Just because you have one label at one point doesn't mean that you are married to it for the rest of your life.
01:17 I used to identify as a Creed fan. Those were some, uh,
01:20 interesting times.

01:24 The comments of her video are, thankfully, mostly supportive.
01:28 "Gray Schmitt, whatever makes you happy. True fans will support you no matter what. You inspire me so much. Love you, Gigi."
01:34 "Emma, people don't understand the difference between sexuality and gender. They are two different things. So much love for Gigi."
01:40 Similarly, Ricky Dillon posted a video early this month where he talked about his own personal struggle with labels, and in that video,
01:46 he comes out to his fans as asexual.
01:48 "If I were to label myself, I would be closest to asexual. Even saying that out loud is very weird,
01:55 because I've never really said it out loud."
01:57 So congrats to both Ricky and Gigi for being positive voices and for living their truths.
