Tammy: It's weird because I was never out before and none of my girlfriends were out. When I was closeted, it wasn't just hypocritical and un-PC, it was also killing me. I wasn't raised to lie. I hate lying. The whole thing drove me to go into therapy. But as awful as the closet was, it protected a vulnerable side of me, if that makes any sense.
Tammy: I've never been with men, ever. I'm gay-blooded.
In the past Tammy spoke about being gay. She said that she knew she wasn't like everyone else because when she was younger she liked a female teacher and wished that she was a man, so she could marry that teacher.
