She publicly thanked her long time partner (of ten years) for all the help and support she has given her through her struggles with her health! It wasn't like she was screaming "hey! I'm gay look at me!"

If I had someone who I loved that much and who helped me through such hardship I would not only NOT be quiet about it, but I would brag bout that person every chance I got. Robin held that in for long enough if you ask me.

Your response to me made no sense, so you fail. Must not be able to actually address the issue, which is typical of you guys.

Must be the otherside opposed to Phil Robertson's view.
The backlash for muff diving is less than peter puffing.

Had a woman composed the bible, I'm sure there would be a different perspective.
This is true.


Of course, the bible is fictional anyway.

She said absolutely NOTHING about her sex life. She simply mentioned the name of her long term partner. In the same way that anyone might say thanks for the support of their spouse or family.

Oh! And I just want to say. She has been one of my favorite news anchors for years! Long time ABCNews watcher here. Her bravery just makes me all the more eager to watch my favorite news channel. I'm a gay man, and even Anderson coming out didn't switch me to CNN. lol.

They know, but conservatives are just a bunch of perverts who make everything about sex.

Could you please quote the part of the article that discussed her sex life?
