"Hey sara, i know you probably won't see this message, but I honestly wanna thank you for all you do every single day. You always promote and speak about important topics which affects our society. You're such an inspiration and everything you do is really helpful and useful," said another.

"I love you with every fiber. You are such a bright light it's almost Hard to fathom. Thank you for sharing. I can only think how many young folks will feel even more held by you. No pressure. I'm just SO PROUD. I'm in tears," commented RuPaul's Drag Race cast member Peppermint.

Ramirez married her husband Ryan DeBolt in the year 2012. As noted by ET, it was only in the year 2016, when they openly spoke about their sexuality and "came out as bisexual."

During a speech at the True Colors Fund's 40 to None Summit in Los Angeles, they said: "Because of the intersections that exist in my own life: Woman, multi-racial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides," Ramirez said as quoted. "I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth's voices to be heard, and that supports our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to."
