Willie says after the anti-gay controversy died down a little, he has worked closely with gay people who work on his show and at the A&E network to try and be more accepting. However, he still isn't sure if homosexuality is a choice or if people are born gay.

"I'm trying to figure that out right now, I really am," he admitted to Larry King. "Since the controversy and since I know all these people and if the thought is, ‘I'm born this way,' I don't know. I'm trying to figure out myself though the passages. Because I always have to look through the Scriptures to see what's there and then I put it up against people, put my time in, so I've spent time with people."

"I'm not the judge. God's gonna be the judge," Willie added. "So it's not my job to convince people to change their lives. It's really through Jesus—if I introduce them to Jesus, he'll do that. All I can do on the surface is love people, accept people, be kind and be respectful to people and I think as a family that's what we do."
