On Tuesday March 26, 2013, gossip website Media Takeout
reported that Good Morning America Anchor, Robin Roberts, had plans of marrying
her longtime rumored girlfriend, Storm Sahara.
According to the site, the 52 year-old Roberts was rumored
to have picked up a marriage certificate in preparation of a secret wedding.
The rumored news comes at the end of a publicized battle
with a blood disorder, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, stemming from a previous
battle with breast cancer in 2008.
According to the site, an email from a GMA insider that
works closely with the Anchor said that the two were definitely an item, and
had been together for quite some time.
No mention of this has been confirmed by Roberts are her
affiliates.
Since 1995, Roberts has captured the hearts of millions of
Americans on GMA with her charm and poise. After going on a hiatus for treatment of
her blood disorder in 2012, national figures such as Oprah Winfrey and Michelle
Obama have rallied for her with encouraging words.
Michael Birklett, a Junior at the University of Houston,
says that his opinion of Roberts would not change. “I like the anchor and I don’t
think her personal choice to marry a woman will change my perception of her at
all.”
“I personally would be okay with it,” said Junior Devin
Lancelin. “My view of her would not change at all.”
Both University of Houston
Sophomore Peter Tosh and Junior Patricia Hartfield stated that they thought
marriage was a bad idea in general.
“I think the whole institution of marriage should be done
away it. It’s like a contract,” stated Hartfield.
Tosh added, “I personally don’t know who Roberts is, but I
think people should be able to marry whoever they like.”
The Supreme Court is currently hearing a challenge against the constitutionality
of the Marriage Defense Act. The act that was put into effect in 1996, defines
marriage between a man and a woman. Recognized by the Federal Government, it
gives spouses federal tax, personal pension, and bankruptcy benefits, according
to CNN.
CNN also reports that 53% of Americans now support same-sex
marriage. However, only nine states recognize the union between same-sex couples.
