James Duke Mason, 18-year-old son of Belinda Carlisle, announces “Trailblazer” campaign on YouTube
Got an email yesterday from a most impressive young man: 18-year-old James Duke Mason.
He’s an openly gay actor whose mother happens to be singer Belinda Carlisle and he has kicked off a YouTube project that encourages his fellow actors to be out and proud.
Says Mason: “It’s similar to the It Gets Better Project except that “Trailblazer” focuses exclusively on openly gay celebrities. It’s goal is essentially to help create a more accepting environment for openly gay entertainers in Hollywood so that eventually we might have our very own “Sidney Poitier“, our own trailblazer who breaks the barrier for LGBT people.
He says he’s expecting Chad Allen, David Moretti, Perez Hilton, Mike Manning and Sandra Bernhard to have videos done in the next few days. Here is Mason’s opening message:
