Anderson: My step-mom came up to my dad. They were having a conversation because I heard; I was in the room. She was like, “You need to accept that he's gay.” This all happened because of my dressing style. I like to wear skinny jeans and things like that. She took it really seriously. It was because of my dressing style and plus I was hanging out really late. At first, she used to think I was prostituting. I would go out early in the morning and not come back until really late or really early in the morning, like 3 or 4 in the morning. My father was concerned. She kept convincing him that I was prostituting.
