Bailey is a master of social media, with 6.6 million followers on Instagram and 6 million on TikTok. She often uses these platforms to talk about social issues, including racial justice, mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. TikTok ended up having an important role in her journey with her sexuality. In 2020, she posted a video sharing her pansexual identity, per Us Weekly.
A few weeks later, in a joint Instagram live Mental Health Q&A with Lacy Hartselle, Bailey opened up about her coming-out journey. "I feel zero shame, and I don't feel that way because nobody's ever really shamed me for it. And I know a lot of people have had a lot of hate and lack of support," she shared. "I know so many, countless stories of queer people that did not have support."
In her Instagram Live with Hartselle, Bailey also offered some advice for anyone struggling with the decision to come out: "If you're gay, tell everybody that you're gay. It's worth it."
