Early life

Jackson was born in Idaho and was named by his father after the 1950s Western series.[4] The third of four children, he was raised along a "teeny mill town" of about 1,200 people in a rural area on the Washington-Idaho border.[4] His father is a Native American and a Vietnam veteran.

His mom taught Jackson, his sister and two brothers to sing and regularly played music from Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Elvis. His parents were evangelical born-again Christians and this caused tension when he came out to them as gay at 19 after he had moved to Spokane, Washington.[4] His brother is a pastor who preached on the 700 Club.[4] Eventually the family accepted his sexuality.[4]

Later he moved to Seattle, where he worked as an ad executive at a magazine and did some theater on the side earning his Equity card.[4] "As soon as I found out what theater was, what Broadway was, I thought, Oh, that's what I'll do with my life. Just a matter of getting all the pieces in place."[4] Inspired to rethink his career after both a death in his family and the 9-11 attacks he moved to New York.

Personal life

He is openly gay and an LGBT rights supporter, as well as an ambassador for amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research)[35] and the national ambassador for The Hetrick-Martin Institute.[36][37] Jackson's partner, Monte Lapka, is a physicist; they have been together since 2000.[1][38][39]
