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.

Looks like she got the “White Prize.”
Nell Fortner, Kara Lawson, and Robin Roberts at an awards dinner back in 2003, when the duo were allegedly still “an item.”
Now reports have it that Roberts may be dating a fellow colleague at ‘GMA’ named Storm Sahara, but such rumors are hard to believe considering no valid information concerning this partner seems to exist. When one is to search “Storm Sahara” on the web, that’s exactly what shows up - a sandstorm in the Sahara desert...
“It is no secret that Robin Roberts long time girlfriend is Storm Sahara, it’s under raps because of their 23 year age difference.”
Color me not “surprised in the least...”
