"The Bachelorette Gabby Windey Surprised by Same-Sex Attraction but Envisions Future with 'My Girl'"

Reality TV star Gabby Windey surprises fans by coming out as queer in an interview on The View, receiving widespread support.

Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, expressed her surprise at a twist that occurred. Windey, who later revealed her girlfriend to be TV writer and comedian Robby Hoffman on Instagram, agreed that the twist was unexpected. She shared her personal journey and realization, explaining that she had been trying to make her previous engagement work but eventually discovered her true feelings. Initially, Windey felt some shame about her attraction to women but ultimately decided to embrace her true self. She described her girlfriend as the best and felt a sense of responsibility to be honest with herself, her partner, and her fans. Windey wanted to share her story directly with the public, as her narrative had often been shaped by editing and production on TV. She also admitted that she had not informed her ex-partner about her new relationship before appearing on The View. After making the announcement on TV, Windey posted a photo of her kissing Hoffman on Instagram, receiving an outpouring of support from members of Bachelor Nation. GLAAD, the largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, also expressed their support for Windey and emphasized the importance of diverse representation in dating and relationship shows.
