Magic Johnson talks about his gay son going public: “This was a good moment for us as a family and a greater moment for him”

Magic Johnson sat down with TMZ’s Harvey Levin to talk about his 20-year-old son, Earvin Johnson III whose sexuality became public this week when TMZ cameras captured him stepping out with his boyfriend in LA.

“Actually I would have to say that TMZ really helped him,” Magic says. “This was a good moment for us as a family and a greater moment for him. I think now he’s just a bubbly kid … and he’s just happy that it is out.”

Magic says he asked his son, known as EJ, at 13 if he was gay.

“I told him, ‘Look, I’m going to love you regardless. Just lt me know are you or aren’t you? And he said yes.’

He then told his son:”We are here to support you. We’re going to love you no matter who are or what you do. We just want you to love yourself.’

He talks about his son’s relief knowing he had his dad’s support: “I love EJ so much, that’s my main man. I told him nothing has changed.”

One Remark

  1. Nice that he and his family support his son, but, I guess I just don’t get how times have changed that people ask a 13 year old if they are gay, at 13 I had no idea what gay even was although I knew I liked boys, and, next up for Mr Johnson, help his son get some real fashion, that look is a mess!
