Magic Johnson

This April 11, 2012 file photo shows Magic Johnson, right, his wife Cookie and son E.J. arriving for the opening night performance of the Broadway play "Magic/Bird" in New York. The 20-year-old son of basketball great Magic Johnson is surprised by the public interest in his being gay, something that he revealed to his supportive family several years ago. Earvin Johnson III, known as E.J., says he feels like he's coming out of the closet a second time and that he's "reveling" in the experience _ even though news of his sexual orientation broke publicly sooner than he had planned.
