Jason Collins's parents had to change the way they thought about both the past and the future when he told them he was gay – but not in the way that counted the most.
Paul and Portia Collins both say they were shocked at their son's revelation. But they supported him almost from the moment he told them.
"Part of the process, after he told us, was to go home and kind of let it resonate, for the two of us to talk about it," Portia tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview airing Sunday on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
"And on the way home we called him. And on the way home we said, 'We love you.' "

Winfrey, 59, recently decided that her Santa Barbara, Calif., dwellings – albeit impeccable – do not reflect on who she is.
"I knew my house was impressive," the talk show host writes in the March issue of O magazine.
