Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts is speaking out about the backlash she received after telling the world she was in a long-term lesbian relationship.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping, Roberts says while the most of the reaction she got was supportive, there were a fair amount of haters as well.

“News flash: Some people like their anonymity. This is what’s right for me,” Roberts told the magazine.

“Love is love, and I’m grateful to have that. Sometimes there’s a stigma attached to how people view you if you’re living a certain way. But I don’t care — you gotta live your life. You gotta find what happiness is and what it means for you, and you can’t get caught up in what someone is saying about you on Twitter. You don’t go through a year like I did to not be happy and not make your own choices,” she added.
