Since she came out, Robin Roberts has become the toast of the gay community. Her popularity has resulted in tons of invitations. In particular, Robin has been invited to be Grand Marshall in gay parades in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles. She hasn’t said yes to any of them yet – but hopes to do at least one, if it fits into her work schedule.
Did Robin Roberts realize that her offhand comment on Facebook saying thanks to her family, and “longtime girlfriend Amber” would escalate into a big news story? It was a very matter-of-fact way to ease herself out of the closet and she certainly played it DOWN. It seems that everyone she worked with was aware of her ten year relationship with massage therapist Amber Laign, but not necessarily her Good Morning America audience. Robin survived a major health crisis and has a LOT to be thankful for this year. We bet she’s relieved that the news is out, but now the hunt is ON for photos of Robin and Amber together.
