“I hope with pumpkin talking bout being bi n a teen n being supportive it helps some1 dealing with something,” she tweeted on Saturday night.

The comment was made in relation to a previously unaired episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo that was aired that night. In the clip, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon discusses the fact that she is bisexual.

“that was the 1st time pumpkin came out bout her bi n her being a teeN is a hard thing 4 real but I’m always there 4 them,” she also tweeted.

While most thoughts were positive, some fans were a bit irked at the revelation. Those who didn’t agree with bisexuality brought up the point that “you either like guys or girls.”

However, more accepting fans swiftly responded with bashing the naysayers, with one follower even citing Sigmund Freud’s “innate bisexuality” theory, which hypothesizes that all humans are born bisexual by nature.

While those disagreeing were few and far between, several parents walked away from the episode learning a lot about sexuality and parenting. It was an eye-opening moment for some, with many realizing their children might be going through something similar.
