Nick Jonas was just eight when he was taught by his father to accept gays
Nick Jonas has become a staunch LGBTI ally in recent years but his acceptance of gay people goes back much further.
During an appearance at the Outfest Film Festival in Los Angeles this week, Jonas credited his Protestant minister father and a lesson he taught him when the singer-actor was just eight.
He was performing as a member of the Jonas Brothers and realized one of the performers in their show was gay.
‘One of my friends who was one of the guys in the show – his name was Mark – was leaving the theater one day and I saw him leave with his partner. I looked at my dad and said, “Oh, that’s different,” and he was like, “It’s all love, it’s all the same.”
‘It just connected with me immediately,’ he told the crowd at the Harmony Gold Theatre. ‘I came from a religious background and my dad is actually a pastor. But he is an incredible man with an amazing open mind and heart.’
