Sara Gilbert welcomed her sister, former 'Little House on the Prairie' star Melissa Gilbert, to 'The Talk' on Tuesday. It was a sweet reunion and everything was going well until Sharon Osbourne took control of the conversation and steered it toward Sara's sexuality."When did you first realize that your beautiful sister loved vajayjay?" she asked. Sara slumped back in her chair and covered her face in embarrassment as Melissa told a few stories about Sara's coming out process. When they were teenagers, Melissa suspected Sara was gay, and took her sister out to dinner to remind her that she could tell her anything. But Sara wasn't ready yet, and told her big sister she wasn't gay.
Years later, they were talking on the phone when Sara finally opened up to her sister about her sexuality. Melissa remembered Sara asking, "Well, what if I just said that I'm gay?" Melissa wasn't exactly shocked by the news. Her response was a short and sisterly, "And...?" At this point in the interview, Sara was embarrassed enough, and joked, "Don't we have a break coming up?"
