I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I kind of live my life as an example, and I just never felt like I had to be on the cover of a magazine announcing that I was gay; it's just who I am. I just live my life, and I never really thought about it.
Most simply but profoundly, I chose to live an honest life, which I think as a gay person is not a given.
I have lived my life very openly, and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
When I was growing up I didn't know what it meant to be a happy, successful grown-up gay person, and now I do. I feel like I'm setting an example for people everywhere.
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.
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 didn't want to be gay. I wanted to be... I wanted an easy life. And you know what? I am gay, and I still have an easy life.
As a gay person, my life has been marginalized.
