Andy Cohen's Mom Has a Touching Message for the Parents of Gay Youth
Latest
To commemorate National Coming Out Day, Andy Cohen’s mother Evelyn has released an “It’s Get Better” video — not for closeted gay people, but for the parents’ they might be coming out to.
“The day I found out Andy was gay, I was shocked,” Evelyn says. “At that time, things were really bad…There weren’t any gay people that I knew. All I read about were the deaths in the New York Times of young men in their twenties dying from AIDS. I heard about the bathhouses. People were prejudiced and it was a terrible time. I thought, ‘I don’t know how we’re going to get through this.'”
