NEW YORK (CBS) Progressive radio personality Stephanie Miller has revealed she is a lesbian.


Miller, 48, publicly came out of the closet on her nationally syndicated show, "The Stephanie Miller Show," on Friday.

An hour before she made the announcement, Miller wrote on her Twitter page, "There may be a lot of crying next hour," and "Stick around for the next hour. Mama's got something to tell you."

Cheyl Wright, who also recently came out in May, was a guest on Miller's show Friday. "You get a toaster oven for recruiting me," joked Miller.


A former stand-up comedienne, Miller has always been vocally pro-gay, both on her show and in public. She grew up with two Republican parents, including her late father, attorney and congressman William Miller, who was Barry Goldwater's running mate in the 1964 presidential election.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
