A lot of people say, 'Wow, you're a single father of twin boys, that's crazy!' Two toddlers can get hectic, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Every day they teach me different things. The love is there. When you have a two-year-old saying every other hour, 'Papi, te amo. Papi, I love you,' it can't get better.

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.

If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime.

These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed.

And when you feel the heat, the world is at your feet.

For many years I thought I was bisexual. And then I would ask myself, 'What is bisexual? Does that even exist?'

I hated it when people tried to force me out when I wasn't ready. It was very painful, and it actually pushed me away from doing so.
