I did not know how or what to be out on the campaign trail. I was very nervous about presenting myself in the wrong way. I realized you’ve just got to take a deep breath and be yourself.
I started opening up about growing up gay in the Midwest, what it was like coming out in a very conservative rural place, what it was like watching my mother battle cancer. She’s still battling cancer and our American healthcare system.

Anyway I think about Daniel all the time and the nice thing, he’s so real and kind, good looking no pretention and the best thing that’s ever happened to me. One more thing, we haven’t kissed yet. That’ll be a special day
