American rapper Lil Uzi Vert has always been a firm supporter of the LGBTQI community with his unique outfits but tweeps always speculated about the Neon Guts hitmaker's sexuality. On Sunday 17 July, fans noticed that the rapper's pronouns on Instagram changed to They/Them. In the LGBTQI community, They/Them pronouns refer to someone who identifies as gender non-conforming or non-binary.
