Days after making her up-close-and-personal singing debut with openly gay singer Lori Michaels, Danielle Staub is declaring that she is a member of “the gay community.”
"I haven’t even begun my work in the gay community yet,” Staub, 47, tells Fox News. “I want to go to senate, I want to pass a bill and get gay marriage legalized. I go to events, I march in rallies. I’ve been a part of the gay community for 30 years.”

Adds The Real Housewives of New Jersey star: "Since birth, my daughters have been a part of the gay community. From teachers to friends, these are the people they are surrounded by. I don’t feel as comfortable around mainstream society as I do around that community. I don’t feel as comfortable around heterosexual people as I do around gay people."

Staub says she isn't coming out ... yet.
“I’m not ready to say that one way or the other," she says. "Right now my focus is on my kids, but there is room for one more person in my world. Hopefully soon the world will see that.”

Could that person be Michaels, with whom she called her "gf" on Twitter and stroked her hair after their June 21 singing debut?
"I met Lori a year ago at a gay pride parade," says Staub. "I fell in love with her music, which deals a lot with the issue of equality. It was very organic for me, that performance."
Tell Us What You Think
62Always knew she was a little out there just by the way she looked at Dinna and Jacq. You might as well come out now girl, cause your a total MESS!!!
Doof is a doofus. Also, as far as this person, her and her fake face and boobs can be ignored. Needy attention wh*res aren't worth the time or space.
She's just using Lori and the gay community for publicity. They should want nothing to do with this person. I feel sorry for her daughters.
Ms. Staub's never addressed early abuse/deprivation has reduced her to a walking pathology book. Also clearly robbed her of any authentic sexuality, whatever her actual orientation may be. She is a desperate, lost,, needy, pitiable infant and needs---and deserves---professional help.
I wouldn't come out if I were you, Danielle seeing how you're doing it for publicity. Next you'll be going back to men and you'll end up looking like a dumb azz like Anne Heche...
I think this is a stunt by Danielle and that she is not gay. She loves flaunting her body and sexuality to men far too much to be gay.
She looks like a hot tranny mess, no wonder she identifies with the gay community. Stopwatch starts *now* til they reject her too..
she meant to say that performance was orgasmic not organic?! lol....
this chick is butt ug. christ. and "coming out"? please. she's a fameosexual if anything. anything for attention, huh danielle?? pathetic.
Horse face witch tries to be all mofia when anyone of those women can stomp her a$$. And that scrawny convict she plays with was someones girlfriend once.
No sane member of the "gay community" wants anything to do with this crazy, poisonous woman. She'll have only herself to thank when Child Protective Services knocks on her door.
She's doing the same thing Kim did on the Housewives Of Atlanta! Oh my gosh! I can't believe her but then we're talking Danille here so yes I can!
Oh wow what will she think of next? She loves to dramatize and lie.
This is the most confused/crazy/ manipulating women I have ever watched on Bravo, now I know Kelly is nuts, but Danielle tops her. Your either gay or straight or bi? Oh wait, thats it, she does have multiple personalities. The women needs serious counseling. Her poor daughters, wow, for 3 seasons she has been on tv an now she things she is "gay" maybe that is why she is so obsessed with Mrs. G. And I figure she must be nutso cause the other ladies have spurned her that is why she is so hateful.
She won't come on simply because she's not gay! Nothing to come out about! She just wants people wondering and loves the limelight and attention so why not say this?
Of course!! That's why she was soooo obsessed with Dina cuz she had the hots for her...hmmmmmmmm I always wondered why Danielle was so focused on Dina, figures, she is a nutcase. I feel sorry for her daughters.
Would not believe a word she has to say.
Anything to get in the news.
by saying she's not 'ready to come out', isn't she like, coming out?
is that even a woman?
