I have a gay cousin who came out to my parents before he came out to his own. So I benefited from having a very open, supportive family, and I want to pass that on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know gay parents, and I support them and their families. They are good parents and loving families.
I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out.
I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.
Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.
I've always had tremendous support from my parents. I think there's a myth that gay people have lousy relationships with their parents.
I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.
My thing is, I don't get in nobody's business or nothing like that or try to bash anybody for what they do. I've got cousins who are gay. To me, there's just no difference. We always chill and have family functions the way we always have. It's not a problem.
I have a relative who is also gay. We can't help it if they were born that way.
I grew up in a pretty gay world - my brother's gay and he's been married to a man for 20 years, which is like 60 in straight-people years.
I want to make sure my family's straight.
