And I’m gay.

And I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it.

And the next step in all of this was sort of letting people know.”

As he noted during his interview onGMA, “I would like to say sorry for how things ended.

I made a lot of bad choices” (viaFox News).

I’m sorry for the pain and emotional stress I caused.

I wish it wouldn’t have happened the way it did.

I wish that I would have been courageous enough to fix myself before I broke anybody else."
