Original title: GMA host Robin Roberts reveals she's gay in thank you letter to fans and 'long time girlfriend' for supporting her through cancer
--------------------
Good Morning America host Robin Roberts publicly acknowledged that she is gay on Sunday for the first time.
The 53-year-old cancer survivor thanked her girlfriend of ten years as part of a heartfelt end-of-year thank you addressed to fans and loved ones posted to her Facebook.
'I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together,' Roberts wrote.
Amber, reports Media Bistro, is Amber Laign, a message therapists who helps patients recuperate from injuries.
Roberts' sexuality has been known to her family, friends and co-workers for some time but this is the first time the television personality has spoken of that aspect of her personal life publicly.

Who is next to ‘surprise’ us - Matt?
I’m going to email her with a “Gay Kwanzaa” wish.
Mississippi shameful PING!
>>The 53-year-old cancer survivor
This is good. Now the media can start referring to her as the 53-year-old LESBIAN cancer survivor.
America was a better place when journalists reported the news instead of trying to be the news.

He came out a few weeks ago, to no one’s surprise.
Darn, and he was so brave fighting those Grizzly Bears.
Seriously - where is the surprise?
What sickens me is that this is now considered “normal” by this sick and perverted, upside-down world.
Have no idea who Robin Roberts is and does not care what she is
There’s a shocker....not.
What difference does it make where she sticks her face?
I am really trying to give a care, but I just can’t quite do it. A pity, but that’s the way it is. Sorry, peaches, but you’ll just have to live with my total lack of concern for you and your “partner”. Oh, the huge Manatee.
FWIW Mississippi ping
Juan Williams, lol
