Jodi Picoult’s son comes out as she writes new novel about gay rights
“I actually started writing about this because it was so upsetting to me personally that gay rights is even an issue in this country,” Picoult said at an event for her book in New York Monday night. “I travel enough to know that it just isn’t an issue anywhere else. And they wonder why Americans are so hung up on it. I have so many gay friends and I’ve known so many gay people over the years. I have gay relatives.”
And one of those relatives is her own son, Kyle, who’s 19.
