BURBANK, CA--At an appearance on a daytime talk show to commemorate National Coming Out Day this past Thursday, President Barack Obama finally came out as a Muslim.
“I’ve always struggled trying to define myself,” he explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to host Ellen DeGeneres. “Back in high school, I always got so uncomfortable when my classmates made fun of the one openly Muslim boy. ‘Should I try to be like them?’ I asked myself. But, in my heart, I knew that one day I would have to embrace my identity.”
