The star of “Moana,” 19 year-old Hawaiian actress Auli’i Cravalho, recently came out as bisexual on TikTok.

Cravalho lip synced to some parts of Eminem and Ed Sheeran’s “Those Kinda Nights,” specifically mouthing out, “I’m bi.” In case you think that she’s just mouthing it out in jest, Cravalho redirected a fan to the clip when the fan asked on Twitter if she was into girls.

As Billboard noted, people are using this period of worldwide quarantine to open up deep truths about themselves. Singer Rebecca Black also recently came out as queer, speaking up in the Dating Straight podcast to say, “to me, the word ‘queer’ feels really nice. I have dated a lot of different types of people, and I just don’t really know what the future holds. Some days, I feel a little more on the ‘gay’ side than others.”
Fans have responded positively to the news (as they should), with the common response being, “We won.”
WE WON WE WON WE WON

What can I say? The gays (and bis and everyone under the rainbow!) keep on winning.
