| Member Regular Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Lost Count Location: Illinois Age: 19 Posts: 64 Join Date: Aug 2007 |  The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." Usually I don't watch Tyra cause I think she's a complete joke but I thought this was pretty interesting.
Does anyone else find this to be more hilarious than anything? Last edited by JoeSchmoe; 19th Feb 2009 at 04:37 AM.. | |||||||||||||||

Crikey, tis pretty worrying people would put themselves through that.  Dealines for turning straight, getting married to a woman, trying to go to conversion therapy, tis all worrying stuff. :\ What is even worse is that most of them seemed to be afraid of being gay because of stereotypes, which are only true to some extent.  Hopefully they'll actually accept it as they get older and won't put themselves in a position that will most likely result in them hurting themselves and others. On a brighter note, Skyler is bloody cute.  |

| Member Regular Member  Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Holland Age: 25 Posts: 65 Join Date: Nov 2008 | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." yeah, I have to say this was definitely more hilarious than sad. The kid who wanted a wife, children and a dog was just hilarious. And it's also very arrogant to think you'll just "get a wife and some kids" to make you happy. As if wives and kids are disposable objects with no feelings. I can understand someone coming to terms with sexuality afer getting married, but not tricking a woman into the whole American Beauty picture for some sort of self satisfaction. and Tyra was being her usual airheaded self, wich is always funny. Her audience is particularly stupid though. When the married gay guy said he had a daughter everyone went "GASP" and then they showed a picture of her and everyone went "aaaaaaaw". funny stuff. |

I really feel unerved by this, luckily though, i live in England and for the most part, it is less "Concerned" about your sexuality and doesn't really have the sort of parents that have to take you to classes teaching you not to be gay, besides thats just wrong and against our human rights..Isn't it? Skylers Cute :P

Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Lesbian Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Massachusetts Age: 50 Posts: 1,775 Join Date: Aug 2008 | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." I don't find this very funny. I think it's sad that people can't/won't accept themselves for who they are. It just doesn't mess up their lives,it messes with all concerned. I know it's mostly about how they were raised(the religious aspects),but there comes a time that they need to come to terms with it. I am SO glad I never went through this. I knew I was a lesbian, at a young age, and that was that. It's who I am and I live my life accordingly. I just wish everybody could do the same.

| Guest Posts: n/a | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." Yeah, I don't think I'd ever go as far as to take classes...but the first kid is obviously confused. And that married gay couple was awesome...and HOPEFULLY an eye opener. And here I thought I was confused, jesus they have it way worst. Lol I can understand the one with glasses though. Thats the one I relate most to I think. And what hypocracy the first one spouted...lol "My penis is beautifully shaped" or w/e. Lol Selfish decadent denial...must taste good. |

Location: East London / Essex area, U.K. Age: 61 Posts: 103 Join Date: Jan 2009 | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." Well yeah, it really had it's funny moments and I'm glad it was posted because I'm in the UK and wouldn't have seen it otherwise. One thing though (and I'm sorry but I have to say it), while it's fine for us all to debate about how screwed and victimised or otherwise these guy are, etc.; I'm really also concerned about how this TV show chose to feature these guys, and what 'knock-on effect' that may have on the stereo-typing and stigmatising practices of the straight community against the gay community. Hell it's hard enough to make any headway there, for us to be compared by assosciation with these images can only serve to undo progress we've made. Sorry guys, didn't mean to spoil the party - but sometimes you just have to tell it like it is! Kayar. X Last edited by kayar; 19th Feb 2009 at 11:47 AM.. |

Location: East London / Essex area, U.K. Age: 61 Posts: 103 Join Date: Jan 2009 | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." Hey, 'Pvand'. What you said about an open gay guy taking a wife, etc., and why would he do that? 'Sir Elton John' did exactly that! I think it was back in the 1980's. He had been 'out' as a gay man for years, and then got 'married' to a woman he claimed at the time to love. Hey, guess what - IT DIDN'T WORK OUT! He has since admitted that he was out of order and that he hurt the woman in question badly. Hope it's not some new gay disease! LOL Take care, Kayar. X |

It was funny, but in the end I couldn't help but say "that's sad." Skylar is really cute though, and Elian's wife is cute too.

After watching the whole thing, I think that Tyra took the right stance, she didn't refer to being gay as being a choice, she suggested more that these people would be unhappy if they chose to "turn straight", especially the part about it being unfair to women, and she also tried to show these guys that their stereotypes were wrong. So, overall I applaud her for her positive portayal.

| He ate my heart Full Member   Gender: Garçon Orientation: 95% Gay, 5% Cheesecake Out Status: Out to everyone Location: The Peach State Age: 20 Posts: 1,575 Join Date: Nov 2007 | Re: The Tyra Banks Show - "I Hate Being Gay." Shane is...je ne sais quoi. Emotionally, he's seems bisexual. Sexually, he's pretty much asexual. He sounded more like an immature 11-year-old just learning about sex than a sexually active 19-year-old, which is scary. Although Skyler was kinda cute, is he gay or bisexual? He seemed so spacey too. LOL Katy and Elian need to work out their complicated relationship. How can they be happy if Elian feels more attracted to men? They'll probably never be truly happy as husband and wife because of this. Gregg has the easiest situation to deal with. He doesn't want to be straight, he just wants to feel comfortable with himself as a gay man. I hope he gets to know more gay men like himself and enjoy life. Marc has the saddest story out of all of them. Going to ex-gay meetings and faking straight just to please society? He's going to live a miserable life if he doesn't realize that you can stop dating guys, but you can never stop being attracted to them. I mean, imagining having sex with a man while having sex with a woman leads to all parties hurt. And Tyra? Crazy and ditzy as usual.
