YouTuber Ricky Dillon Comes Out
February 27, 2020YouTuber Ricky Dillon has come out as gay in a video he uploaded in his channel.
“This already feels so weird just telling it to a camera,” he says. “I’m gay. I am gay… And I am finally okay with it.”
As ‘Pride’ reports, back in 2016, Dillon had come out as bisexual. Now, he says he has accepted his sexuality and he is “1000% sure” he is gay and he has decided to open up about his identity.
“I wanted to come out years ago. I’m not scared of telling you guys,” he says. “That being said, there’s still so much of the world that is homophobic and hateful, and thinks that being gay is a lifestyle and something you choose. I did not choose to be depressed and have crippling anxiety over this for three years.”
Dillon also admits that he hasn’t yet told his family that he’s gay, and he doesn’t think they’ll react well.
“I grew up in a family and in an environment…where being gay is so wrong. I grew up Christian, very religious. I grew up in Alabama, and I was taught that being gay is a horrible sin, it’s so bad, it’s the worst thing you can be. It was drilled into my brain from an early age that being gay is one of the worst things that can happen.
“I’ve been with several guys now, and it’s the most natural and comfortable thing ever,” Dillon says. “It just clicks. It all makes sense. And it feels right. And I finally felt like I’m myself.”
