I've heard other gay people say when they were growing up they felt 'foreign.' growing up, i was able to label these feelings as: 'i'm a protestant.' it wasn't until i left, i thought: 'oh, those weren't protestant feelings.'

Growing Up Gay People

More From Graham Norton

In my real life, both my bosses are gay. on the 'real housewives of atlanta,' andy cohen is gay, everybody at bravo is gay - we call them the gay mafia. over at 'glee' and 'the new normal,' my boss ryan murphy is gay. on the show, my boss, played by andrew reynolds, is gay in real life. i'm surrounded by all my gay bosses.

One time i was doing an interview for a gay magazine and halfway through the journalist found out i wasn't gay. he said, 'sorry, i can't continue the interview.' because they only had gay public figures in their magazine. i felt so crestfallen. i wanted to tell him: but i play fundraisers for gay marriage! i'd rather my kids were gay than straight!'

I cannot prevent anyone from getting angry, or mad, or frustrated. i can only hope that they'll turn that anger and frustration and madness into something positive, so that two, three, four, five hundred will step forward, so the gay doctors will come out, the gay lawyers, the gay judges, gay bankers, gay architects i hope that every professional gay will say 'enough', come forward and tell everybody, wear a sign, let the world know. maybe that will help.

You think you're in a place where you're all 'i'm thrilled to be gay, i have no issues about being gay anymore, i don't feel shame about being gay,' but you actually do. you're just not fully aware of it. i think i still felt scared about people knowing. i felt awkward around gay people; i felt guilty for not being myself.

"let's say we discover the gene that says the kid's gonna be gay. how many parents, if they knew before the kid was gonna be born, [that he] was gonna be gay, they would take the pregnancy to term? well, you don't know but let's say half of them said, "oh, no, i don't wanna do that to a kid." [then the] gay community finds out about this. the gay community would do the fastest 180 and become pro-life faster than anybody you've ever seen. ... they'd be so against abortion if it was discovered that you could abort what you knew were gonna be gay babies."

I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: i'm gay. my music is gay. my show is gay. and i love that it's gay. and i love my gay fans, and they're all going to be coming to our show. and it's going to remain gay.

Were a stranger to drop on a sudden into this world, i would show him, as a specimen of its ills, a hospital full of diseases, a prison crowded with malefactors and debtors, a field of battle strewed with carcasses, a fleet foundering in the ocean, a nation languishing under tyranny, famine, or pestilence. to turn the gay side of life to him, and give him a notion of its pleasures; whither should i conduct him? to a ball, to an opera, to court? he might justly think, that i was only showing him a diversity of distress and sorrow.

These liberals are the craziest things. the constitution, they see things in it that aren't there and ignore things which are. the 14th amendment, nothing to do with gay marriage.

I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. i guess it's a sign that i'm moving up the ladder.

Girls who put out are tramps. girls who don't are ladies. this is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. what you have probably found is a lesbian.
