Lil Nas X publicly came out on Twitter during Pride Month 2019.
‘Cause of course somebody who’s listening to me in school right now, it’s like, ‘You’re gay, cause you’re listening to him.’ There’s still lot to be done, of course. “We still have a long way to go, because it’s not like everybody is messing with me now. “I think it’s gonna always help,” he said of public figures coming out.
The “Old Town Road” rapper later told King that while he knew his story would help others in the process of coming out, “there’s still a lot to be done” when it comes to how society treats the LGBTQ community. Lil Nas X Explains Gay Prejudice to Kevin Hart in Tense Conversation
