A post shared by Jesse Tyler Ferguson (@jessetyler)Former Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson just revealed his somewhat unorthodox approach to fatherhood: he is raising his son Beckett to be gay instead of straight.Ferguson made the tongue-in-cheek confession to Ellen DeGeneres during a March 8 interview on her talk show.
The actor, 45, opened up about raising an 8-month-old, and how it has changed his outlook on life.“We’re raising him gay until he decides he’s straight,” Ferguson said of he and husband Justin Mikita’s approach to parenting. “On the way back from the hospital, we played Britney Spears because that was what Justin demanded we listen to, his first exposure to music.”Related: Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita throw.
