We’re again debunking an old claim about the Obamas — this time, linked to another false claim about the late comedian Joan Rivers.
In footage from 2014, Rivers claimed that former President Barack Obama is gay and former first lady Michelle Obama is transgender. An Instagram user sharing that video said Rivers was killed for revealing "the truth."
The user posted the video Jan. 11, which shows Rivers being interviewed on the street. In the clip, Rivers was asked about having officiated a gay wedding the day before.
The off-camera person interviewing Rivers then asked, "Do you think that the United States will see the first gay president or the first woman president?"
Rivers answered, "Well we already have it with Obama, so let’s just calm down. You know Michelle is a t—-," using a slur that’s a reference to transgender people.
When the interviewer asked for clarification, Rivers said, "A transgender. We all know. It’s OK."
A text overlay on the video reads, "It’s a shame they bumped off Joan Rivers because she revealed the TRUTH!" And the post caption says, "Telling the truth in #HollyWEIRD can be dangerous. It can even get you killed. Case in point: the magnificent #JoanRivers."
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. Rivers, who died in September 2014, was not murdered, and the Obamas are not gay or transgender.

As for the Obamas, this is not the first time this claim has circulated and been debunked. We previously rated two claims that Michelle Obama is a man Pants on Fire! Photos and accounts from her memoir show that she is a cisgender woman.

Too bad Donald Young isn’t around any more to debunk the Obama is gay part
Michelle must be thinking about a run for President next year and is trying to “debunk” this now before it becomes an issue during the campaign.
I heard she’s a prepper and keeps a baked potato in there in case of an emergency.
> Only a total crackpot would seriously think Michelle Obama is a man. <
I was talking to Elvis just the other day, and he thinks Michelle Obama is a man. So get with the program, Ben.
Best explanation I have heard so far.
I don’t believe she’s a man.
Now lets see it.
Trust, but verify.
Instead of wasting time on a shadow in a photo and this idiotic rumor that she’s a fake woman, check out her childhood through adult photos which clearly shows she’s a female and always has been.
As to the Obama rumor, that is much more believable.
I thought exactly the same thing. However, there is a recording of the Ellen show, of the individual in question hopping around in a group exercise routine.
I suggest you watch this, and let us know what you think.
It would be a great cardboard cutout to run for Puppetdent.
This confirms it. Why revisit it, unless it’s for damage control?
I’ll try not to waste any more time.
I’ve still never seen any pics of big Mike pregnant....
Come on people. There is no evidence Michelle is a man.
Bigfoot maybe.
The only way this is a timely publication is if Moochele is planning to get off her buttocks and run for an elected office.
If you watched michelle dancing on Ellen you might change your mind
Goonie goo goo, Gus.
Big Mike was obviously born a female. No one seriously questions that.
But it is also a fact that Barry is at least bisexual.

Michelle might be a hermaphrodite. Either way, it was her masculine side that attracted Barack... :)
Thank you Gabrielle Settles, for bringing this issue back to the public awareness. No doubt you wish to infect some pending discourse by ‘prebunking’ it in the zeitgeist.
Watch the headlines in coming days, readers. It looks like the Obamas will be back in the news.
Me either.
