Wise words from gay “Real World” cast member

I haven’t been watching The Real World: DC this year but fortunately, the folks at AfterElton.com have been.

Sunday’s episode featured a painful coming out episode involving cast member Mike Manning and his boyfriend Tanner. After a visit to DC, the boyfriend went home and came out to his parents. It did not go well at all.

Mike offered moral support to Tanner and at the end of the episode, he turned to the camera and said: “If your kid comes out to you and has the courage to tell you who they truly are, then you better damn well love ‘em all the same!”
