It was a different to say that a well-adjted gay person looks like any one thg, but Dperate Hoewiv and Unupled, the are people who are fortable their own sk, who have reers and are gog about their liv relatively productive ways. I grew up wh a fear of beg gay, what beg gay meant, feelg like was not an optn. I had bee a father to tws through surrogacy, and tellg the story of how I beme a father, trsic to that was that I was a gay guy who wanted to have kids but uldn't go through the tradnal way of havg children.

Everyone I worked wh knew I was gay, and that's jt about a ago.

My kids actually helped me bee a ltle more fortable publicly wh who I 's another strategy that somebody your sho uld have employed along the way, which was to rist the typ of rol that you those are great rol whether you're gay or straight. If you were able to play gay rol over the years, Neil Patrick Harris occupied the oppose space. Dpe beg a very visible gay celebry, outsi of his theater work, his most famo rol were the macho, funny, bro-type and I didn't really talk so much about procs, but I thk you make a good pot.
