Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts is celebrating 20 years of being on the network morning show.
She recently sat down with Ellen and talked about a time she was afraid of being ‘outed’ if she did a 2012 interview with then President Obama.
She recalls the conversation being about the possibility that Obama would change his stance on marriage equality.
I had not been public yet about being gay and I was afraid that I might be outed, that people might wonder, ‘why is she the one interviewing the president when he’s making this change in his stance?’
She did do the interview and she said, it was at that moment I said, ‘I’m gonna stop letting fear keep me from the things that I want to do.
When was the last time fear kept you from doing something you really wanted to do?
