LAHORE – Former US President Barack Obama offered some advice on self-confidence for young men at an event for his foundation in California.
He was joined by NBA player Steph Curry and singer John Legend to mark the fifth anniversary of My Brother’s Keeper, an initiative to support males from minority backgrounds.
Barack Obama referred to himself as “Michelle’s husband” not simply because he actually is her husband, but also to make a point about masculinity.
When asked by a member of the audience about his definition of being a man, and how it relates to the LGBT+ community, the former US president said being a man was ‘first and foremost being a good human’ before going on to say that ‘if you are very confident about your sexuality, you don’t have to have eight women around you twerking’.
Obama never fails to make a solid statement.
