I do a lot of gay-friendly stuff in my show, and men, women, they all love it. I practice non-judgment in my daily life and hope other people do the same thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I deal with a lot of wonderful gay people. I hire a lot of them. I use a lot of them. I respect them. They're terrific. I am good friends with them. But you live your life the way you want to live, and I'll live mine, and I won't stick my nose in yours.
I've played a couple of gay characters onstage, and it's always been something I'm comfortable with. I grew up in a family and a culture that doesn't have stigmas about sexuality.
I respect every gay man and woman. They're that way, and they just want to be happy.
It doesn't annoy me but I think of myself as a presenter who is gay, rather than a gay presenter. It's a subtle distinction, but that's how I view it.
I get told a lot that I'm kind of carving my own path. That there are not many actors who are out and are able to play straight and gay, and everyone's OK with it.
For me, I have gay family members, and I have a lot of friends in the LBGT community.
Am I a homophobe? Look, I work in show business. I am awash in gay people, as colleagues and as friends.
I myself know some people who are gay. We're on friendly terms. I'm not prejudiced in any way.
To me, doing a gay pride show is one of the most fun things. My first show that paid more than $10,000 was in a gay club on New Year's Eve in San Francisco.
The gay community is very fickle. And I know because I'm part of it and I see it every day.
