Ricky Dillon Comes Out As Gay

YouTuber Ricky Dillon has come out as gay.

The 27-year-old uploaded a new video, with the simple title, “I’m Gay,” where he opens up about his journey to getting to this point.

“I’ve barely said this out loud, so I’m saying it several times to normalize it for myself,” Ricky says in the beginning of the video. “And I’m finally okay with it.”

“I started to slowly realize that I’m gay a couple of years ago, I would say 2017, and ever since I’ve slowly realized it more,” he went on. “Fast forward to this day, I am 1,000% percent sure that I’m gay.”

“i’ve been sobbing uncontrollably for the past hour. i’m overwhelmed with relief and emotion. i’ve never felt like this before ever. i can’t believe it,” Ricky tweeted after uploading the video.

Ricky has previously come out as asexual in 2016, before opening up later, saying, “I no longer 100% relate to that video. I don’t have a label for myself for the time being, I am figuring myself out, and I don’t label myself as asexual.”
