Video: Magic Johnson opens up about his gay son to TMZ

Magic Johnson and his wife, Cookie, have known “for a long, long time” that their 20-year-old son E.J. is gay. Now, after a TMZ video this week showed E.J. holding hands on a Los Angeles street with his boyfriend, it is public knowledge, too.

“It’s interesting when you’re his parents. We finally had to sit down and talk about it,”Magic Johnson told TMZ of the long-ago decision to have The Talk with E.J. “I told him, ‘Look, I’m going to love you regardless. Just let me know: Are you or aren’t you?’ Finally, he said, ‘Yes, I am.’”
E.J., Magic estimated, must have been “12-13-14″ years old at the time. “It was a hard conversation only because he was so young. What do you say to tell him at that age, what do you say to him?” Magic Johnson said. “…I told him, ‘We are here to support you, man. We are going to love you no matter who you are or what you do. We just want you to love yourself and make sure that you have all the information.’” Taken from: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2013/04/04/magic-johnson-opens-up-about-his-gay-son-video/
