Colton Underwood: “I’m gay…I get to publicly and outwardly be happy and be me – all of me”
Nervous, but happy to finally be himself and accept himself, Colton Underwood shared with the world today that he is gay.

Don Lemon explained this “other” mentality stemming from not interacting with others, and not getting to know them, direct from the heart with his buddy and fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo:
Don Lemon: “Often times, when you don’t have a relationship with people like that, you don’t know them, you don’t see their humanity. But to you, it’s “other”. And, listen, you know where... Continue reading

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson accepted the Generation Award Monday night at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards with an inspiring speech of how he decided to just be himself in Hollywood, and values being nice over being “important”:
