Latest Bruce Jenner Diane Sawyer Interview Confirms He's Gay; 'I'm A Woman," Reveals Former Olympian; Full Trascript Released!

The latest news about Bruce Jenner has been having fans on the edge of their seats as he finally admits it himself that he is indeed gay.

During a two-hour interview with Diane Sawyer, the 65-year-old admitted that he is a woman. At one part of the interview, he asks if he can remove his pony tail and proceeds to do so. Sawyer then commentates that his removal of his ponytail symbolizes a certain freedom he is about to embark on as he finally addresses issue about his gender that is being thrown at him constantly for one year.

Sawyer asked Jenner, "Are you a woman?" to which the fomer olympian answered with confirming he is. "Yes, for all intents and purposes, I'm a woman," he said. He further goes on to explain that he may not be the same as other women in terms of how he looks and how he has the body parts of a man, but the level of thinking and what's truly inside his soul makes him the same with women. "Even though I have all the male parts, when I close my eyes and dream I am a woman," he said.

In another part of the interview, Bruce to himself in third person. "Bruce Jenner has always been confused with my gender identity," he said. "I'm me. ... I'm a person. I'm not stuck in anybody's body."

"I look at it this way-Bruce always telling a lie," he added. "He's lived a lie his whole life about who he is. And I can't do that any longer. My brain is much more female than it is male. It's hard for people to understand that, but that's what my soul is."

While he admitted he's gay, Bruce was quick to say that he is not attracted to men. "I've never been with a guy," he said. "There's two different things here. Sexuality is who you are personally attracted to. .... But gender identity is who you are in your soul."

As to what his family thinks about his long-time struggle with his gender, the former olympian said that they accept him fully and are all so proud of him. "They all cried," said Bruce. "Mainly because they didn't want anybody to hurt dad They are very protective of me."
