That said... can we talk about how Robin Roberts' "deeply personal conversation" with Colton didn't include a single direct question about his alleged harassment/stalking of ex-fiancee Cassie Randolph (who filed, then dropped, a restraining order against him LESS THAN A YR AGO)?

A few thoughts on #TheBachelor 's Colton Underwood coming out. First and foremost, congrats! Speaking from my own experience (almost 30 yrs ago), it's scary to announce to your family, your friends, the entire world that your authentic self is different from what they've believed.

A strapping former footballer allegedly inflicting psychological violence a woman is a far bigger deal than "misleading" Bachelor viewers/the fameosexuals who competed for an engagement ring on national TV. And yet Roberts only tackled the latter issue head-on.

Coming out takes courage. The world can be shitty to LGBTQ+ folks. Colton stepping into his authentic life is terrific for him, and his willingness to do it publicly is very likely terrific for some kid watching GMA and struggling w/ his/her own sexuality/suicidal thoughts.
