“It’s all about loving them no matter who they are or what they decide to do. And, when my some came out, I was so happy for him and happy for us as parents, and we love him. EJ is amazing! So, you’ve got to support your child. Because there are so many people who try to discriminate against them. So, they need you to support them, because if you don’t support them who’s gonna support them and love them?”
