The 'Glee' actor and singer virtually enlisted Adam Lambert and Laverne Cox — and their moms — for his latest video.
Newell, who is gender-nonconforming and uses the pronouns “he” and “him,” said the track is intended to be a self-affirming and timely tribute to mother figures, both biological and chosen. The video doesn’t define “mothers” as exclusively female, either, and features a gay male couple who gaze lovingly upon their kids.
“My father died when I was 6, so I was raised by my mom,” he told HuffPost in an email. “I paid homage to what she did for me and what motherhood is – instilling positivity into a child no matter what age, sharing wisdom, nurturing them, comforting them.” “I also wanted to write an anthem for the house moms we have in the LGBTQ community, adoptive moms and anyone who is a maternal figure and nurturer,” he added.
