TMZ's Harvey Levin on coming out

TMZ Head Honcho Harvey Levin Gets Surprisingly Candid About His Sexuality
The creator and executive producer of the popular gossip website and television gossip show of the same name opened up about his sexuality in a new essay he penned for the Los Angeles LGBT Center, “the world’s largest provider of programs and services for LGBT people.”

Levin details in the piece, published on the non-profit’s Vanguard Now site on Friday, the “profound internal struggle” he felt as a teen and how a “homophobic campaign” that someone close to him waged had “scarred” him for “many, many years.” It caused him to try “harder than ever to lead a ‘straight’ life.”

His shame led to him living a life of secrecy and lies.

Now he can be happy and accept himself. Respect starts at home, with yourself. I hope he finds the strength to quit worrying about what others think about him and focus on how HE feels about himself.
