Rocker/Gun Advocate/Political Troll Ted Nugent tweeted an odd admission that he is "a gay vegetarian pirate."

The confession that he does not eat meat and is homosexual came in a tweet that also acknowledges President Barack Obama is a Christian.

The posting is a surprising switch for Nugent, since he was previously known for hunting and cooking wild game.

Nugent's tweet came two days after a controversy erupted over a comment at a Donald Trump rally by a supporter who declared that President Obama was Muslim.

A recent poll indicated that 43% of Republicans in the U.S. believe that Obama is Muslim and not Christian, despite his longtime membership in a Christian church and his repeated professions of belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God and his savior.
