- I'll start. What did you think--
- What did you think...
- What did you think when I told you I was gay?
- I thought you were kidding.
♪ [music] ♪
- I didn't think anything because I knew it and I just needed you to tell me it.
- I felt relieved. I wasn't like, dumbfounded, shocked and surprised.
- Did you have any fears after I told you I was gay?
- Yes. Well not fears of you, just fears for you. About people accepting you
outside of your house.
- I think society has progressed an awful lot, but naturally I had fears for you for
being the victim of discrimination.
- Were you scared to tell me you were gay?
- I was petrified. I had known I was going to be in the city for two nights and I had
plans if you guys didn't want me to stay in the house with you anymore.
- I can't believe you felt that way.
- When did you first know I was gay, if ever?
Remember my favorite Power Ranger was the pink one.
- When did you first know I was gay?
- When you were like four years old with a sheet wrapped around you singing Ella Fitzgerald.
- There were many times in your life that I thought you were, especially when you
would walk around the house singing show tunes.
- I had conversations with people who were involved in the gay and bisexual community
really early on when you were little. - What?!
- And at that moment I said to myself, "Oh shit, he's gay."
- And said, "Oh, you know what?"
- That kid's gay?
- That kid's gay.
- Wow.
- Was I one of the first or the last people you told, and why?
- I guess you were kind of both because I kind of came out all at once.
- If you could set me up with one celebrity, who would it be and why?
- Woah.
- What about, like, Brad Pitt from Thelma and Louise?
- I don't like Brad Pitt.
- That's why I'm gay and your not.
- You are such a unique, great guy. You are going to find the right person for
yourself when you're not looking, and I don't give a shit about whether it's a
celebrity or whether it's some guy who sweeps the streets. So I really can't find
a good answer to that question.
- Do you have any advice out there for dads who think their son might be gay?
- Yes. Open up, ask them, talk to them, be honest, and let them know that you support
them and love them no matter who they are.
- It has nothing to do with them being gay. Pay attention to your kids.
- You want the best for your child. You want to encourage them to be who they are.
So if that's who they are, that's who they are. I mean, it's kind of simple.
- Oh! Happy Father's Day, dad.
- Thanks sweetie.
- Happy Father's Day, dad!
- Thank you.
- Happy Father's Day, dad!
- I love you. - I love you.
- What did you get me?
Very good.
