The show Time

The 17-year-old has been hailed an inspiration to young LGBTQ+ people all over the world, after she bravely shared her story in the form of a t-shirt, which read, ‘Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.’

‘My cousin got me a new shirt,’ she wrote in a tweet, which has since been liked more than 800,000 times.

It comes after the teen star shared a TikTok video of herself lip syncing to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, including the lyrics, ‘No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian, transgendered life. I’m on the right track baby, I was born to survive.’
