Edit: Raven came out in an official statement on Friday afternoon:
I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted. I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to.
High five, Raven! (Officially) welcome to the family!
