YouTuber and Comedian Lilly Singh Comes Out as Bisexual, Fans Rejoice
What year is it? Oh right, 20BiTeen!
YouTuber and comedian Lilly Singh came out as bisexual last night and we are SO here for this being apart of 20-bi-teen.
Singh, who is also known by her stylized YouTube channel name ||Superwoman||, posted a super casual tweet last night, ticking off boxes on a list reading “female, coloured, bisexual.”
“Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers,” she added. “No matter how many ‘boxes’ you check, I encourage you to do the same x”

Singh’s YouTube channel became popular in part for her comedic reenactments and observations of life with Indian parents, and how they react to current pop culture in North America (the Singh family is based in Canada). Her videos have since grown to include a number of guest appearances from celebrities, including her forever fave and eternal crush, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
While fans who watch Singh’s videos and have clocked her nose ring along with how many beanies she wears may have been somewhat anticipating this day’s eventual arrival, it doesn’t change how excited everyone has been for the comedian to embrace and share her truth.

And one fan even pulled this brilliant record out of the archives:
Beautiful. Truly.
Singh followed up her revelation a few hours later with a tweet thanking everyone for their support.
“Words can’t describe how much it means,” she wrote.
