The Good Morning America anchor, who came out in 2013, recalled the 2012 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “There was a possibility that (he) would change his stance on marriage equality," said Roberts. "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?’"
