After years of interacting with his fans via social media, popular Minecraft streamer Ranboo took to Twitter on April 24, 2022, to talk about his sexuality.

Ranboo came out as gay in a series of tweets, noting that he had never been opposed to coming out and had dropped many hints in the past.

Initially, the video game streamer started the discussion surrounding his sexuality by starting a Q&A thread with his followers, since he would take a break from streaming for a while.

“Welp seeing as how I won’t be able to give you guys content for a bit because my sins have finally caught up with me it’s QNA TIME ASK ME THE DEEPEST THING YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED ME TO KNOW,” he tweeted.

When a user asked what his favorite heart-stopper moment was, Ranboo mentioned several of his posts where he had tweeted “men,” “Zombie Apocalypse, Hot Guy,” and more.

Finally, Ranboo made one last reply to the thread, writing, “I mean how many more clues can I give.”

Ranboo then set out to clear the confusion and confirm that his aforementioned tweets were indeed his way of coming out.

“And for those confused basically I guess I am technically unlabeled as the way I have kinda always gone around life just being attracted to whoever I am attracted to,” he wrote.
