The holiday season is getting better and better for the community, be it busting a conservative hypocritical mom or fearlessly coming out on national television. Spectrum News 1 Ohio anchor Taylor Bruck recently came out to viewers during a broadcast, telling her story with what she called one simple yet scary word. In an exchange about holiday plans with colleague Alexa Maslowski (Ma-slow-wa-ski), Bruck said “The extent of my traveling is probably going to visit my girlfriend in Cleveland and that’s about it.” Afterward, she mentioned on her Instagram post that using “girlfriend” words on air for the first time might not matter to many people when they heard it. Still, for her, it’s a step toward accepting and loving herself fully and being authentic on and off the air. Bruck told People that her decision was a spur of the moment and had lasting consequences. After the news broadcast, messages started pouring in from all around the world, including Ghana, Germany, Australia, London, as well as many states across the U.S. telling her how much this visibility meant to them. Bruck said she has been open about her sexuality on social media but an on-air acknowledgment was the icing on the cake.
