Nonbinary Actor Bella Ramsey Thanks Her 'Gay Army' In Epic Sign-Off From Twitter—And We Get It

Ramsey sent a special message to fans thanking them for their support before signing off from Twitter for good due to the platform's repeal of policies against LGBTQ+ harassment.

Nonbinary actor Bella Ramsey—who starred in HBO’s TV series adaptation of the queer-inclusive 2013 zombie video game The Last of Us—has left Twitter.

Ramsey did not give a reason for leaving, but the move came after Twitter quietly revoked its policies against LGBTQ+ harassment, including its protections against misgendering and deadnaming. Ramsey’s supporters—whom they refer to as their “gay army”—have been supportive of their role as queer teen Ellie in the show.


Ramsey wrote:

"Twitter it's been fun. My account will still be active for now but I will not be on here!"
"Thank you my gay army and all the rest. Love you."

You can see her tweet below.

The repeal of the policy comes amid criticism of Elon Musk for supporting a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech on the platform.

Musk—who has a trans daughter—has a long history of spreading transphobic rhetoric. His recent purchase of Twitter has only increased concerns for the safety of trans people on the platform.

Last week, he followed a number of anti-LGBTQ+ accounts—including Chaiya Raichik’s far-right Libs of TikTok—and tweeted doctors or parents who support gender-affirming care for kids should “go to prison for life.”

With this in mind, Ramsey's fans expressed their support for them after they announced their departure.








Twitter’s decision to officially roll back its safety policies for the LGBTQ+ community sparked concern and outrage from the community and its allies.

Many fear this change will lead to increased discrimination and violence against LGBTQ+ individuals.

Ramsey’s departure from Twitter highlights the importance of creating a safe and welcoming space for all individuals on social media platforms and the responsibility companies have to protect their users from hate speech and harassment.

GLAAD—an LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization—condemned Twitter’s decision to repeal its policies, citing a poll of LGBTQ+ Twitter users conducted in February 2023 that found 60% of respondents experienced an increase in abusive and hateful speech on Twitter since Musk took over the company.

Trump Lashes Out After 'Train Wreck' Elon Musk Announces He's Creating New Political Party

President Donald Trump attacked his former ally Elon Musk in a post on Truth Social after the tech billionaire announced over the weekend that he's creating a new political party called the "America Party" amid their ongoing feud.

Musk has made clear that he vehemently opposes the president's One Big Beautiful Bill—and will work to unseat any Republicans who've supported it, saying they've "voted for the biggest debt increase in history." He founded the new political party on July 5, the day after Trump signed the legislation, which adds roughly $3.3 trillion to the national debt.

MTG Ripped After Vowing To Introduce Bill Making 'Weather Modification' A Felony

Republican state legislators in Louisiana introduced two bills this year banning "weather modification activities" primarily focused on "chemtrails"—things that don't exist. Florida's Republican-controlled state government signed a law banning weather modification activities and geoengineering.

Geoengineering is a term for large-scale to planetary-scale interventions in the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and soils to counteract some of the effects of climate change. There are no large-scale geoengineering programs in the United States as of 2025.
