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 close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.

Maybe there are logical reasons for a gay person not to have a great relationship with their parents - not because there's a parent who made him gay, but just because it may be difficult to understand everything.

If you ask me, 'Are you for or against gay parents?' for example, having kids - it's hard for me to say, 'Yes.'

I am a father, and I know the feel of being a father. Why wouldn't I want my gay friends to also be happy parents?

For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.

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.

My parents are kind and accepting. Because so many of my friends were gay, it was just an accepted thing in my house. I was very lucky.

My parents, man, they're just the most loving, encouraging... They're like those people who define themselves through their role as parents before people in their own rights.

I'm trying to tell kids if they are gay, it's OK to be gay. I've tried to tell families if they have a gay family member to accept them and love them as they always have.
