Meet Dan and Sam McMillen: Gay brothers compete on 15th ”Amazing Race” [video]

By on September 10, 2009

”Being gay and Christian, we find that we constantly have to defend ourselves. And so it would be nice to get this out there. And maybe, you know, maybe people will get over it one day. ‘Cause, quite frankly, we really don’t care what they think…. We’re gonna use our Midwest charm a lot.”

”Growing up Christian in a conservative community, neither one of them felt comfortable enough coming out at an early age but after doing so, they’ve found a whole new bond with one another and instantly became closer through honesty and trust. Sam and Dan will tell you that being gay is only one of the many aspects of their lives.”
