"He came out to me, uh, before I turned 20 years old, and he asked me to keep it a secret."
"When he did, he was met with a little adversity by the family. It's an old Italian family. You know, they're stubborn old b*******,"

Cena described homophobia as downright ignorance and stressed the importance of living one life authentically.
