“I always wanted to come into the spotlight,” E.J. says. “I always
had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so
it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still
something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.”According to
reports,
the basketball legend’s only son will be featured on a new E! series
titled “Rich Kids of Beverly Hills.” As the title suggests, the show
will follow five young adults as they flaunt their wealth and designer
bags in front of the camera.“You’ll see me doing the absolute worst with all my crazy friends,”
E.J. said during a recent hosting gig on E!’s Fashion Police. The 20-year-old NYU student came out of the
closet earlier this year and his family publicly supported him.“I don’t care about the backlash, if somebody doesn’t agree, that’s
just tough on them. I’m gonna love my son until the end,” Magic told
The Grio.
“He has a right to decide who he wants to be, who he wants to date, and
who he wants to marry, and he has decided that that’s a man, and that’s
okay by us.”
Must be nice! E.J.’s new show, began filming this weekend, and airs next January.

"National Coming Out Day was founded by
Robert Eichberg and Jean O'Leary on October 11, 1988 in celebration of
the [second] gay march on Washington D.C. a year earlier. The purpose of
the march and of National Coming Out Day is to promote government and
public awareness of gay, bisexual, lesbian and transgender rights and to
celebrate homosexuality. National Coming Out Day is a time to publicly
display gay pride. Many choose this day to come out to their parents,
friends, co-workers and themselves." Coming out can be a really empowering thing to do. You can read about teen coming out stories in the forum, in the section called "Coming Out."
Today would be a great day to share your own experience.
