    "It's tough for me to know, because I just am what I am and there's going be a lot of that. That's why I can't even read the LGBT media anymore, because it's all too gay, not gay enough, wrong kind of gay," the presidential hopeful said in an interview with Clay Cane on SiriusXM Urban View. "All I know is that life became a lot easier when I just started allowing myself to be myself. I'll let other people write up whether I'm too this or too that."
