A Letter to My Sons on My 75th Birthday (unknown)

Dear Zachary and Elijah,. Do you remember the first time you saw me on stage? We were in Las Vegas in 2018, and your Papa brought you to the show.

When the lockdown put my tour on pause, my world got smaller, and I started to see life in a different way. Zachary and Elijah, you two are the greatest gifts I have ever been given. But know this: the most rewarding journey in my life has been the one I began 12 years ago with your Papa, when we decided to start a family. That’s why I have given so much to my music and my foundation. It used to be that LGBTQ+ people were seen as “wrong,” or “the bad guys.” We still have a ways to go, but, your Papa and I felt safe enough to bring you both into this world. By opening a dialogue, we have opened hearts and minds, and turned the tide on the AIDS pandemic. You were amazed by it all, the lights and the costumes and the crowd. We were in Las Vegas in 2018, and your Papa brought you to the show. And yet, even when we held you and our hearts swelled with love and pride, a part of us was still scared. As some parts of the world become more accepting, others are becoming more divisive and dangerous. And in my 75 years as a gay man, I have seen so much positive social change. Being true to myself is what gave me my voice, and helped me face my greatest fears.
