"I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!" the "Late Night with Seth Meyers" comedian quipped on Instagram.
Comedian and former talk show host Amber Ruffin honored the final day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month by coming out.
“In what will come as a shock to exactly zero people, I’m using the last day of PRIDE to come out!” she wrote Sunday in the caption of an Instagram post that included a snapshot of her in a T-shirt with the word “queer” printed in rainbow colors.
“Be proud of who you are, little babies! I know I am!” she continued, before joking: “And I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!”
