My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.

I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.

Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.

Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.

Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
