Magic Johnson had tough time accepting his son's orientation

Magic Johnson had a tough time accepting EJ Johnson, who came out as gay in 2013 when he was 17. Johnson once had a no-scarf rule inside their house, as he didn't want EJ wearing them flamboyantly.

However, the LA Lakers legend learned to accept his son's sexuality a month after he moved to New York to study at NYU. Magic revealed how EJ changed his perspective in an interview with Selome Hailu of Variety last year.

"He changed me," Johnson said. "He was so proud. This dude here is just so proud of who he is. As I grew older, as my wife talked to me, I couldn't him. I had to accept who he was and who he wanted to be. He actually helped me get there beecause he was so proud. Cookie (his wife) said, 'Look in the mirror.' I said, 'You're right.' Because I'm proud of who I am and he got it from me."
