Underwood and Roberts on GMA (Image via ABC) Colton Underwood, the former NFL player who was famous for being a virgin while starring on Season 23 of ABC's The Bachelor, came out as gay on Wednesday in an emotional interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, who herself came out as a lesbian in 2013.
Underwood, shaking with emotion, said: I've ran from myself for a long time, I've hated myself for a long time and I'm — gay.
And I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it. Roberts said she could see joy in his statement, but he looked terrified to me, so I hope this is a first step away from pain for the poor guy.
