Coral Smith doubles her chances for a date

Coral Smith, the brash and busty cast member from The Real World: Back to New York who went on to become a reality TV mainstay on shows like Clash of The Reality TV Stars and Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat, has found herself a new way to keep herself in the spotlight. She’s come out as a lesbian.

Well, sort of. In her own words: “I’m definitely venturing toward my lesbian qualities.”

Coral raised eyebrows with an apparent relationship with the male Abram Boise on Road Rules: South Pacific, but though they shared a long kiss when he was voted off, Coral later she’d claimed they faked an affair to make good television.

Coral spoke with Outlook magazine during a recent “Gay Day” appearance at Paramount’s Great America theme park near San Francisco and as far as we can tell said she’s going out with women now. Our favorite quote from the interview is her answer to the question: “Why do you think you were picked for The Real World?”
“To this day, I really don’t know. It could possibly be my breasts. They’re very large.”

More to the point, she adds: “I just live my life regular and have regular relationships. I’ve never been a ‘politics’ person. I don’t fit in. I’m not really a Democrat, and I’m definitely not a Republican. I just try to stay out of that, working in (San Francisco), we have a GLBT Center there, and in counseling. I work at a rape crisis center. Stuff like that is more ‘home’ to me. Politically, what I say there doesn’t matter. Stuff happens above me.

“I consider myself a regular person. I’m not that famous. I can still walk around. People just want pictures. I love it! I think it’s hot. I was a big dork in high school, so now it’s payback. My 10 year reunion is coming, and I’m going– and bringing a date! I’m actually really happy right now. I’m really happy!”
