‘Modern Family’ Alum Aubrey Anderson-Emmons Comes Out as Bisexual by Quoting Iconic Line from the Show

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons is living her truth.

The 18-year-old actress, best known for playing Lily Tucker-Pritchett on the beloved ABC sitcom Modern Family, came out as bisexual in an Instagram post shared on Monday, June 16.

In a video, Anderson-Emmons lip-syncs to a scene from Modern Family featuring Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sofía Vergara. In the scene, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Vergara) says, “You are Vietnamese,” to which a young Lily says, “No I’m not, I’m gay, I’m gay!”

Mitchell Pritchett (Ferguson) then says, “Honey, no, you’re not gay. You are just confused!”

Anderson-Emmons mouths Lily’s lines while laughing in the video. She also added on-screen text which reads: “people keep joking so much abt [sic] me being gay when I literally am (I’m bi).”

She captioned the post, “happy pride month to all and to all a goodnight hehehe,” including a slew of hashtags.

Anderson-Emmons’ fans took to the comments to send their support and excitement.

One of the biggest sentiments the actress’ followers shared was to wish her a happy Pride Month.

Many, on the other hand, joked about how happy and proud her Modern Family character’s TV parents, Ferguson’s Mitchell and Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet), would be for her.

Mitchell and Cameron are one of the most celebrated and recognized gay couples on television in the 21st century. The show even won two GLAAD Media Awards throughout its run for its everyday depiction of a gay couple.
