Given the judgmental nature of the people, revealing your sexual orientation in public takes a lot of guts. And it is even more difficult in a society where you are judged first for who you are. Steve Kornacki, on the other hand, never gave in to fear.
Steve revealed his sexual orientation in a deeply personal Salon column in 2011. His confession surprised global readers as they analyzed the existence of the distinguished world, where many men must live in order to have the life they desire.
Kornacki wrote in his journal that he discovered his sexual orientation during a high school basketball game. When the hot cheerleaders tempted the entire audience, Steve was more drawn to the players wearing the opposing jersey.
Steve only told his family about the situation the weekend before his article was published. At lunch, he handed them copies of the column, and the first words they said after reading it were, “We are proud of you!”
Relationship Status: Gay But Married Woman
It’s a humdinger to learn that openly gay Steve Kornacki has revealed his marriage bond via his Twitter account. However, it was just a ruse to annoy his trolls.
On 17 September 2017, Steve responded to A Thousand Look’s Twitter question ‘Does Steve Kornacki have a wife?’ by stating that he and his wife, Ginny, had been happily married for 14 years.
Because he had already admitted to being gay, the response was an offensive punch to his troll.
Steve has yet to speak publicly about his real-life relationship, as he appears to be more focused on his media career. Maybe he has a boyfriend, but he doesn’t show it.
