1000-Lb Sisters cast member Tammy Slaton has revealed her sexual orientation by using emojis for the Pride flag and transgender flag on social media.
Tammy said that she used to identify as “pansexual” at first, but after her husband passed away, she transitioned to identifying as a lesbian. She admitted this in her video, emphasizing that love is love and everyone deserves love, regardless of gender identity.
Tammy expressed her support for the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing that love is love regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Tammy had been dating Jerry for two years. "It means love is love," she said, emphasizing that she would date anyone regardless of their gender identity.
Tammy and Jerry started dating on a dating site for plus-sized women, despite her family's disapproval. While the 1000-Lb Sisters viewers believed their relationship ended because of Tammy coming out as pansexual, it was later revealed that Jerry was still legally married when he was dating Tammy. His wife discovered the relationship through TV and was heartbroken. Tammy was later married for approximately six months to her late husband, Caleb. He died at the age of 40 in June 2023.
