The 'GMA' anchor says she's grateful she did the interview, where she talked to Obama about marriage equality, which ultimately inspired her to come out publicly.
: ‘Snap out of it; Robin, what are you thinking? It’s not about you. This man is going to impact countless lives.’ And it was at that moment that I said, ‘I’m gonna stop letting fear keep me from the things that I want to do.”
Roberts said she is glad she changed her mind, and it inspired her to open up about her longtime relationship with Amber Laign. “I’m so grateful that I did that [interview with Obama],” she told DeGeneres. “Shortly thereafter is when on Instagram, or on social media, I talked about Amber and all that fear I had of being a Christian, that people would look at me differently. [But] I was embraced. Again, if we just stop and think about how many times we let fear keep us on the sidelines and I’m so, so very glad that that’s no longer the case.
“Everybody is a limited edition,” she said, adding: “I mean, how many times [do] you gravitate toward people who you know were being their true authentic self? It’s just something that more and more people are starting to embrace, and I’m grateful for that.” During the interview with DeGeneres, Roberts also opens up about Laign’s breast cancer diagnosis and reveals she was a bus driver when she was in high school.
