I hope they have it online later. I found the interview with his older children very moving.

And that Kayne discussion "I have to be me". That was nice. And when Sawyer asked "if you were me what would you ask?" And he said "are you going to be okay?"

It's a nice interview. I'm glad I watched it. I wish him all the best.

I think going public like like takes a lot of courage on his part. I wish him well.

I don't automatically hate someone if they are.
He's not imposing his politics on me or anyone else I know.
Plus, he's not a politician, so who cares what his political affiliation is?

spoken publicly. I know a lot of people think he did this for publicity, but after seeing the pain in his face and voice when he speaks about be followed to the doctor and how he thought for a second of suicide, I really think he gave this interview as an offering in exchange for peace to live his life.

He suffered all along because of that -- I'm sure it made it ten times harder for him, as a conservative, to be himself. So I"m not going to add to the pile-on.
