JAMES DUKE MASON – BELINDA CARLISLE’S SON

James came out to his mother, The Go-Go’s vocalist Belinda Carlisle when he was only 14 years old. For Belinda, she had always been aware of the issues associated with being part of the LGBTQ community, since it was her son who was revealing his truth, those issues hit closer to home. Her concern as a mother was only natural, worrying about the difficulties James might face once he comes out publicly.

Fortunately, her worries were unfounded. Whilst there will always be a degree of struggle, James is doing great for himself! He is the co-chair for the West Hollywood Gay and Lesbian Advisory Board.
