Gay and lesbian people, and the children they are raising, wrongfully face discrimination, and I want them to know that I'm on their side.

I know gay parents, and I support them and their families. They are good parents and loving families.

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

In the past, kids didn't tell their parents they were gay, so there were never the bust-ups. Some parents react so strongly to the news that their children are gay that the reaction is, 'Get out of our house.' There's a residue of old prejudices that are going to die hard.

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 want to make sure my family's straight.

I'm fine with gays. I have nothing against gays.

I have a half-brother who is very, very, very gay, many cousins, best friends who are all members of the LGBT community, and for me to not say anything would be hypocritical. There is a lot of prejudice. People think it is abnormal. No, it's just another normal.

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.
