The TV host proudly shows off his loving relationship with his husband, Alex Brannan, despite political unrest for the queer community across the globe."Most countries in the world, it is illegal or very difficult to be gay culturally or legally. It feels good to know that there are kids out there watching who are having a difficult time with it, who think to themselves, well maybe life life might not be so difficult."The broadcaster hopes to inspire up-and-coming gay journalists who may be a bit intimidated by anti-LGBTQ+ legislation ramping up around the world."I can be in a foreign country where it's not okay to be gay and I will just play along with questions about whether or not I'm married to a woman or if I'm planning to have children anytime soon. It doesn't affect me in any way. It doesn't mean that I can't live the life that I want to live in my own home and online." What You Need to Know is streaming now on Disney+.
