'Take it from me': Proud LGBTQ celebs share their most empowering advice

Happy Pride Month!

While "Good Morning America" celebrates with compelling stories of the LGBTQ community, from Stonewall to today, we thought we would ask some of our out-and-proud LGBTQ guests from our Take It From Me series to share some advice about coming out, finding love and learning to love yourself.

Lance Bass: 'Don’t worry what others think of you'

"I think growing up in the South as a gay person, it is hard. When I was 5 years old, I knew I was gay. But I remember I knew I’d have to hide it for the rest of my life, because I knew it was wrong and that’s what people kept telling me. So sometimes when I see, you know, pictures of me at that age, I feel empathy for that little kid because that was on his mind a lot growing up," Bass said.

"Don’t worry about what people think of you, there’s nothing wrong with you at all. You can be and love whoever you want."
