Ranboo, a Minecraft content creator with over 4 million followers and over 60 million views, recently opened up about being gay. After speculation about his sexual orientation started swirling, he came out publicly and published a straightforward tweet that started with “/srs,” slang for “serious.”He then used his secondary account and thanked everyone for their support. Though the streamer did say he’s unlabeled, he is okay with the “gay” label.“I didn’t want to make anyone outright upset, but I still wanted there to be like a little bit of ‘Ehhh’, and then just like, get them.”Ranboo@Ranboosaysstuff/srs25984311284/srsMinecraft streamer Ranboo opens up about being gayAfter coming out via Twitter, a clip of the streamer went viral on YouTube, where he discussed coming out.
