I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
I basically raised her. Ariana and I are 10 years apart, and she grew up with a really gay brother who just loves her unconditionally, and it's reciprocated.
While it was refreshing to finally see an openly gay man speak at a Republican convention, it doesn't remove the stain of selecting Mike Pence, America's most anti-LGBT governor.
The idea of the gay experience, it feels like a relic. I felt like in the '90s when we were watching the gay characters on βThe Real World,' there was definitely a gay experience that was distinct from a straight experience. If you talk to high schoolers in 2017, I don't know that is as much a part of how they experience a social dynamic.
I think the moral majority and religious right have been shrinking and having not quite as loud a voice in America, and all of a sudden people are coming to their own realizations going, 'Joe down the street is gay and he's a great guy.'
When Stephen Harper was elected as the new Conservative Prime Minister - and he talked about repealing gay marriage and putting it to a vote in the House of Commons - Elton and I talked about getting married in Canada to make a statement, for ideological and political reasons.
I care about women's rights and reproductive rights and my gay friends being able to keep their marriages official. You don't want your genre to disown you for it - and I don't think they would now - but you still see that sort of hatred and vitriol that comes with disagreeing with the conservative agenda.
I am not gay; I don't have a relationship with Ricky Martin.
Rock Hudson let his gay agent marry him off to his secretary because he didn't want people to get the right idea.
If I've had roadblocks along the way for being gay, I'm not aware of them.
I've been so private. That's part of the reason they've said, 'Is Romeo gay?' No. I just don't want to show you my girl - if I got a girl.
Football is at least as 'gay' as rugby, Greco-Roman wrestling and the film '300.'
I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it's a sign that I'm moving up the ladder.
The funniest rumour that I've heard about myself is that I am gay.
I live in Salt Lake City, and I don't have a lot of gay friends.
Most of my saucy comments are from gay guys. Some of them are pretty explicit in the things they say, especially on Twitter.
Being gay in San Francisco is fun. Being gay in Saudi Arabia - that's a whole other matter.
I care a great deal about LGBT U.S. servicemen and women being able to serve openly and honestly. Since early in my career, I've included realistic LGBT characters in my books. The idea that a gay Navy SEAL had to hide who he was in order to serve was a terrible one - and I made sure my readers knew that!
The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center has this wonderful program where they take in the youth, feed them, help them learn how to cook, clean, they help them get jobs, help them learn how to save their money, and they have shelters all over the city.
I started out as a pianist and singer in gay and piano bars - they were the only places I could get a job singing show tunes.
