No Interest With Girls
In an episode, Cookie narrates a tale about a holiday in Hawaii for the Johnson family. EJ was in his teens at that time and whilst on the trip, she found that her son seemed to have no sexual interest in women. From that time, she explains, “When the guys passed by, [EJ] was like, ‘Ooh! ‘And then the girls walk around and … nothing. So I was like, ‘Hey, we need to have a talk.’
What He Wanted To Hear
Cookie goes on to say, “The conversation wasn’t, ‘You can’t be that.’ The conversation was, ‘Do you believe you are that? However, before you answer that, know that if you are, I’m all right with it.'” That’s perhaps the attitude that every LGBTQ child wishes from their parents. “[EJ] replied, ‘Yeah, I guess I am,’ and I said, ‘Okay.'”
