Raven-Symone, best known for her role as Olivia on "The Cosby Show" and later as herself on "That's So Raven," came out today on Twitter.
The actress tweeted the following at 11:00 this morning:
I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you

It's not the first time that she's prompted speculation about her sexual orientation, although the last time was a lot more cryptic. In May of last year, she wrote:
My sexual orientation is mine, and the person I'm datings to know. I'm not one for a public display of my life.

According to The Huffington Post, last year's rumors were kicked off by a National Enquirer article that suggested the actress had moved in with "America's Next Top Model" contestant AzMarie Livingston.
Some of Raven-Symone's followers on Twitter dropped truth-bombs after her declaration:
@MissRavenSymone Can I have your spot in the Cheetah Girls? Disney might not like you anymore.
