This week beauty vlogger Ingrid Nilsen released a video on YouTube coming out as gay. Nilsen famously goes by MissGlamorazzi on her channel. The 26-year-old YouTube star and Project Runway: Threads judge says she didn't come out earlier because she grew up in an environment where homosexuality wasn't accepted.

"Okay," her video starts. "I'm doing this. Alright, um, I guess I am just going to get right to it. Um, there's something that I want you to know, and that something is, I'm gay!"

After coming out she joyously said, "It feels so good to say that, it feels so good." You can watch her video here.

In it, she talks about her sexuality and even got into past relationships with men who came out to her friends and family.

"I want to live my life unapologetically because I am proud of who I am and I am not going to apologize for who I am anymore," she continues. "This is the life I have always lived in my head and now its real. I'm giving myself my best chance, and so should you."

Nilsen shares with YouTube her life story. She talks about the first moment she knew she was attracted to women and years of having to hide it. She even got into the moment where she revealed to her loved ones that she was gay. The video of Nilsen's admission might be the vlogger's most popular one to date. The 20-minute-long video has already gotten more than 2 million views. She comes out more than 40 seconds into it.

These are prime years for Nilsen. Right now she's working with magazines and judging Project Runway: Threads all while producing videos for her channel.
