'Good Morning America' anchor Robin Roberts used a Facebook post to acknowledge what friends and co-workers have long known: She's gay. Roberts, 53, has been very open about her health battles, but she has not previously spoken publicly about her sexuality.
In an end-of-the-year message posted on her Facebook 'like' page Sunday, Roberts wrote: 'I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.'
While Roberts did not give her girlfriend's last name, People magazine identified her as Amber Laign, a licensed massage therapist from San Francisco she met through mutual friends a decade ago..
