I know, because I tried all sorts of ways of being in character, and the best way is to be totally straight.

I am an honest, straight guy.

I've decided to lead in a way that takes people with me. It's the approach that I think will stand not only our party but also our state in good stead.

When you're young and queer and closeted, you can end up in this place where you regard your straight peers as the enemy.

The more you build your life on principle and less on personality - yours or others - the straighter will be your course.

I want to say, embrace your sexuality, own it, be confident, but you don't have to show everything. Respect yourself, and make others respect you.

Allow yourself a few parties, but be mindful the rest of the time.

I have no methods; all I do is accept people as they are.

I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.
