Happy birthday to...Mark Indelicato of "Ugly Betty"

Mark Indelicato, the gloriously free to be himself, fashion-loving kid on ABC's "Ugly Betty," turns 13 today. Although he wasn't among the "Betty" cast members present at Sunday's Outfest panel on the show, his character was talked about...A LOT.
Ana Ortiz, who plays Justin's mom: "From Hilda's point of view, she's got a happy kid and that's a remarkable thing....Everyone has members of their family who are gay, including my godfather. He's so thrilled about the show and he'll say, 'You got that from ME!""
Creator-Executive Producer Silvio Horta: "He's 12 and we want to let things proceed as they would normrally. There's so much to explore with this kid as the comes into adolescence and would it would be like if he were gay...which he probably is."
Executive Producer and co-show-runner Marco Pennette: "Tenj years ago, you would not have seen this character on TV."
Cast member Michael Urie: "Someone said the show is teaching kids to be gay. I think it's more they are teaching kids HOW to be gay."
Star America Fererra: "It's not so much teaching kids how to be gay, it's about teaching their families to love them and accept them."
