Is LZ Granderson gay?
LZ Granderson is not only an advocate for “Gay and Lesbian,” but he is also gay. In a CNN.com column, he openly admitted to being gay. LZ was not comfortable coming out of the closet because he was a typical black man growing up in a rough neighborhood and doing drugs. So, he tried to pray the gay away (no pun intended), but he eventually mustered the courage to face reality.
In an interview with ABC News on June 27, 2017, LZ revealed that he revealed his sexuality for the sake of his son. Coming out as gay was not easy for him, he admitted, but finally telling the world the truth and living the life he desired was a huge step forward in his life.

He also won the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation award for online journalism in 2009 and was nominated for it again in 2010. Not only that but the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association named him Journalist Of The Year.
