Lilly has truly overcome many obstacles to get to where she has gotten and it looks like she hasn’t finished just yet as she continues to embrace her authentic self and encouraging others to also embrace their identities, as she continues to raise awareness and acceptance.

Lilly has not yet released a sit-down video just yet addressing her sexuality, as it may be a bit soon since the tweet. However, other YouTubers such as Joey Graceffa, Hannah Hart, Tyler Oakley, and Shane Dawson have used the platform to address their sexuality and share experiences from an LGBTQ perspective to raise awareness. We would love to hear some of Lilly’s Experiences, or even as an addition to her comedy sketches in the future. She may even try our LGBT Tag
We wish Lilly all the best from YouTubeSociety.
