The "Modern Family" alum, who portrayed Jesse Tyler-Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet’s on-screen daughter Lily on the Emmy-winning TV show, celebrated Pride month by living her truth and coming out as bisexual.

In a June 16 Instagram video, the 18-year-old lip-synced to an audio clip from a scene of the ABC series that featured herself, Tyler-Ferguson (who portrayed Mitch), Stonestreet (Cam) and Sofía Vergara’s Gloria.

“You are Vietnamese,” Vergara said, to which Lily responds, “No, I’m not. I’m gay, I’m gay.”

Ever the foot-in-the-mouth father, Mitch said, “Honey, no you are not gay. You are just confused. Oh my god, what is wrong with me?”

Atop the video of Anderson-Emmons mouthing the scene and smiling along, she wrote, “People keep joking so much abt me being gay when I literally am (I’m bi).”

Ariel Winter, who played Anderson-Emmons' on-screen cousin Alex, showed up to support her castmate by giving her Instagram post a “like.”

And while Anderson-Emmons used a portion of the "Modern Family" scene to share her truth, it’s not the only section of that episode that she and her fans have resonated with. In fact, a viral TikTok trend from earlier this year was born out of another of Lily’s quotes from the scene where she shouts, “I hate Vietnam!” while inside a Vietnamese restaurant. TikTokers would then use that audio to sarcastically express their dislike of someone.

“I’m just really grateful that everyone is getting a good laugh out of my clips from the show,” Anderson-Emmons told Billboard in March, “and I’m grateful for all the support.”
