Mark Wahlberg: “Acceptance is the Key”

The source of this quote is unclear, but Mark Wahlberg’s gay uncle taught him tolerance of homosexuality according to a report by Contact Music: “My uncle was gay and he was a teamster and a truck driver and he was a guy’s guy, but he kept this secret his whole life. Imagine how hard that must have been for him. I feel so bad. Every time my dad brings it up, he cries because he loves his brother more than anything. He doesn’t care what it was. He was born that way. Acceptance is the key. The only way you’re gonna succeed in life and really grow as a human being is through acceptance.”
