Wright soon followed, tweeting, "Big love and respect to you, @RobinRoberts ! #equality #pride."
Wilson Cruz also chimed in, issuing this statement: "Robin's courage continues to be unwavering, and today she has inspired countless young LGBT people and, in particular, LGBT people of color -- especially LGBT women of color -- who can now see a reflection of themselves on America's most-watched morning show. As one of the nation's most-trusted journalists, as well as a top athlete, Robin is also helping millions of viewers to better understand the rich diversity of the LGBT community."
Jeffrey Schneider, Senior Vice President of ABC News also told E! News, "Love Robin and Amber, and have known Amber for a long time. We were all touched by Robin's FB message today, so glad she has so much incredible support in her life."
