Pointing out to a single from his new EP, 7, Lil Nas X marked the end of Pride month by coming out of the closet and proclaiming to the world that he is gay. The Old Town Road star posted a tweet, wondering how many of us couldn’t find out that he was not straight.

In the song “C7osure”, that was mentioned in the tweet with a video snippet, the lyrics go something like this—
True say
I want and I need
To let go
Use my time to be free
It’s like it’s always what you like
It’s always what you like
Why it’s always what you like?
It’s always what you like, huh
Ain’t no more actin’, man that forecast say I should just let me grow
No more red light for me, baby, only green, I gotta go
Pack my past up in the back, oh, let my future take a hold
This is what I gotta do, can’t be regretting when I’m old
Clearly, he was meaning something from the verses.He also pointed out 7’s artwork, with a distant building emanating rainbow lights.
