Lesbian actress Sara Gilbert [1] will co-host a new daytime talk show, featuring a panel of celebrity moms offering first hand accounts of the trials of motherhood.
Last week, CBS issued an official press release for the show including bios of co-hosts: Sara Gilbert, Julia Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur.
While the other women listed their spouses’ names in their CBS bios, Gilbert’s bio did not include her partner, Allison Adler. Simply stating she “lived at home with her family.”

Gilbert, who is an out lesbian, credited the decision to exclude her partners name from her bio to her discomfort discussing her private life, AfterEllen.com reported [3].
“This is a talk show, so obviously I’m going to be discussing my life more, and I felt that the first place I wanted to do it wasn’t in a CBS press release,” she said at a Television Critics Association press event on Wednesday. “It just seemed impersonal, and I felt like I’d rather come in person and talk to you about all that stuff here.”
Gilbert has been in a relationship with television producer Allison Adler since 2002. Together they have a son, Levi, and daughter, Sawyer.
When asked how being out will affect her as a talk show host, Gilbert said:
“I don't ever really think of things as out or in. I am who I am. When topics come up that are appropriate, I'll talk about them and share when it seems right. ... I don't analyze these things. I'm just living my life. I put my heart and soul into this show.”
The show, entitled “The Talk, is set to air this fall on CBS.
