“To me love is love. It shouldn’t matter. I have so many close friends and family who are gay I don’t even think about it. I just want everyone to have the chance to love who they want to and it just shouldn’t matter. Some of the closest people in my life are gay and I have to say, have had longer committed relationships than many of my straight friends - including my beautiful sister Sarah and her partner.”
Olivia Newton-John
