“It was so cool to see my mother so incredibly inspired … to call my friends, go through old videos … The passion was really, really a nice thing,” Scott said about his mother's hard work on the book. He talked about how he helped her to remember old stories and how meaningful it was to rethink memories like his coming.

He continued: “We would never really revise it in many years. So that was really cool. I am also at an age and feel in this place in life, where I can be really present and grateful for that moment and how crucial it was in my life.”

Connie spoke a little about how this day was for her when he came out and said: “W.Hen Scott told me that he was super angry. I mean he almost sobbing. When he told me, I had the feeling that I had to tell him immediately: “Hey, I love you so much. That doesn't change. Doesn't change that your family, her sisters, her father, I know that you will feel that way. “

She continued: “We all heard these stories of someone who comes out and the parents throw him out, which has my understanding. But after that I just wanted to help him with the trip. I wanted to learn everything I could. I made mistakes … but parents, it is your child – you loved her, you have collected her.”

Scott said: “If you are in the closet and nobody knows who you really are, you have no evidence for yourself that you are really loved.” Your support meant everything.

Connie spoke about how a friend of her asked an advisor whether she could use the chapter of the book about Scott as a resource for parents of Queer Kids before the book came out, which she naturally “yes!” (As long as you signed an NDA!)

Scott announced that he hopes that parents who read the book learn from his mother. “I have the feeling that you can be an example that a parent only uses love as a northern star when you support his child and come out and lead them to success. “

She then spoke a little about her relationship with God and how she developed since she learned more about LGBTQ problems. She spoke about how in Catholicism “tHey, say that you can be gay, but you can't react to it. What? I just think it's crazy. “She continued:” Then Scott could not get married in the Catholic Church. You will not recognize his marriage. So of course I had problems with it. I didn't return to the church, but I'm still very spiritual. “

She added: “God and I have a great relationship – and that is important to me. No building with a priest in it.”

Scott spoke about how it is so much easier to create as an artist when you are your true self: “To be able to be your authentic self, the strata in which you need to be in a character takes away.

Connie spoke about her endless list of PPMs or “proud moments of parents”, which she has had for her 3 children over the years. But when writing this book she had the opportunity to hear “How many people in his life love him and who speaks about his heart and good, how he helps people and wants everyone to be successful. Only all the wonderful things …If you have so many people who say what an incredible heart he has … it also makes a parent proud. Because I had the feeling of raising a good son. “

In order to close, Scott said that there is a QR code in the book that brings the fans to a website with photos and other exciting content, including a brand new songs called, on a website Pray!”

Scott said: “MeT is ironic is a really funny song. It sounds like a gospel song, but it is about how ridiculous the idea of ​​praying the gays away and how ridiculous what you can do is. “
