'I can finally get married!' says The Cosby Show actress Raven Symoné as she comes out as a lesbian

Raven-Symoné is ready to open up about her personal life.

The That's So Raven actress has revealed that she is a lesbian with an enlightening and excited tweet on Friday.

'I can finally get married! Yay government!' the 27-year-old former Cosby Show star tweeted. 'So proud of you.'

While she didn't expand on her bombshell statement on Twitter, Raven was referring to the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act in June.

She went on to tell E! News, 'I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted. I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. 

'I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to.'

Celebration: Raven excitedly tweeted: 'I can finally get married!'

Don't expect wedding bells just yet, however, as a rep for Symone told E! 'Raven is not getting married. She was just supporting the fact that she heard on NPR that more states legalized gay marriage today.'

In May 2012, she addressed a National Enquirer story that she was living with her girlfriend, America's Next Top Model contestant AzMarie Livingston, in New York City by tweeting a cryptic message about the tabloid story.

'I'm living my PERSONAL life the way I'm happiest,' she told her then 350,000 followers.
