What did you think-- - What did you think... - 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 times in 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. - Thank you. - Happy Father's Day, dad! - I love you. - I love you. - What did you get me? Very good.
