Magic Johnson Shows Support for His Gay Son

Magic Johnson Son is gay and has the blessings of his famous father and his mother.

'Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way,' Magic told TMZ. 'We're very proud of him.'

Magic, 53, is best known for leading the Showtime Lakers to five NBA championships in the 1980s with panache and his trademark smile.

Johnson's professional basketball career was cut short in 1991 after he was diagnosed with HIV and held an emotional press conference announcing his retirement.

.   Earvin “E.J.” Johnson III is his name and he is 20. Basketball legend Magic Johnson said a recent photograph of his son walking the Sunset Strip, dressed in fur coat and swinging a handbag — and holding hands with his boyfriend — doesn’t bother him.

So the kid is a little overweight and femme. He still young and Im sure there would be plenty of kids out there wanting to switch places with him.

  The important thing is that he has a basketball legend as a dad who happens to be HIV+ and therefore have torn down many doors for HIV’ers;  Now he is blessed with a gay son and by the support he gives his son he is also knocking down barriers and changing attitudes based on fear and lies about being gay and being part of a gay family.
