Picture: TMZ The son of legendary HIV-positive basketballer Magic Johnson has proudly stepped out in LA’s Sunset Strip, hand in hand with his boyfriend. Earvin “EJ” Johnson III is a 20-year-old student at New York University . "Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way," Magic’s told TMZ. "We're very proud of him." When Magic revealed he was HIV-positive in 1991, rumours about his sexuality arose. Instead of dodging the speculation, he used his celebrity to spread awareness and tolerance. He has also spoken out against Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California.
