The "Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts recently made a rare public appearance with her partner after coming out as gay in December.
After publicly admitting her real sexuality last year, the journalist has become one of the headliners. Facing a battle with myelodysplastic syndrome, she revealed in her Facebook page how truly grateful she is with her girlfriend. Robin Roberts and her partner just made a rare red carpet appearance on Monday's event.
The couple who have been together for ten years showed their support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community by attending the 11th Annual GLSEN Respect Awards held at New York's Gotham Hall. The event organized by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network recognizes the efforts made to ensure that schools are safe for LGBT students. Robin Roberts and her partner Amber Laign's presence in the event has been one of the rarest appearances they have made after the GMA host revealed her sexuality.
Looking chic, Amber opted for a maxi-skirt paired with a sleeveless blouse and sandals while the anchorwoman preferred wearing a black over-all with a white shirt and T-bar stilettos. Though the couple was trying to keep their relationship under wraps, many are still eyeing on them. It can be recalled that Robin Roberts opened up about her partner of ten years through her Facebook post wherein she was remembering her tough battle with cancer.
The revelation of their romance has gained numerous reactions from the people. There are those who are happy for them while they also received criticisms. Many actually criticized Robin Roberts and her partner why they didn't disclose their relationship of ten years.
In response to the critics, Roberts said that there are people who liked their anonymity and she thinks that it was just right for her. The couple actually met nine years ago on a blind date.
