Evan Darling
Evan Darling has always loved cars, but he entered professional racing in 2007 with a larger goal in mind: he wanted to be a role model for gay teens. When he came out to his parents at age 18, in 1986, they reacted so badly he had to move out. But since then, he’d gone…

Anderson and Gloria
Anderson Cooper reçoit sa mère, Gloria Vanderbilt, dans son talk show. Où on comprend qu’il n’y avait aucune chance que cet homme soit hétéro.
