Good Morning America anchorwoman Robin Roberts is making headlines today after she acknowledged her longtime girlfriend in a special Facebook post.
Roberts had not previously confirmed or denied that she is a member of the LGBT community.
She has been in a relationship with Amber Laign, a massage therapist from the San Francisco Bay Area, for the last 10 years.
First lady Michelle Obama, a supporter of gays rights, tweeted her support for Roberts today:
.@RobinRoberts, I am so happy for you and Amber! You continue to make us all proud. -mo
