Tyra sends a message to Richard's community, reminding them that just as they face prejudice for being black and Latino, it's wrong to attack Richard for being gay.

Dear Tyra: You are such a inspiration to many young people you are real! I have been a huge fan of yours since Higher Learning, and Fresh Prince. Now I watch you from the Trya Show to America Next Top Model. I want to applaude you on the show with Gay Peolpe because I'm a 28year old lesbian woman living here in the heart of Brooklyn, and it is hard and a lot of judgement is placed on who you are and who makes you happy. I just love the fact that you are so open to everyones ideas and beliefs it is beautiful keep up the good work!Love Strong and Live Lyfe

I Love everyone because GOD loves everyone, and i must say that I do not agree wit the homosexual lifestyle because GOD said to be fruitful and multiply and there is no way for someone to multiply as a homosexual pair. In the bible, all of the unions were heterosexual, except the ones that were in the cities that LOT and his family resided and those who r familiar with that city know that it was destroyed. I would never look down on anyone because i know that I am far from perfect and that I am a sinner like everyone else. But just as me stealing or lieing is a sin, living a homosexual lifestyle is also living in sin. Everyone is a sinner, but it is up to the individual who has to make up his/her mind to REMOVE the sin from his/her life. GOD is willing to work with anyone who is willing to change their life for the better. Search the word of GOD and you will find the answers that you are looking for. Remember that GOD Loves the Sinner but hates the sin, so He loves you and I and is willing to work with us to achieve the Christ-like life that He wants for us and we should want for ourselves. IF we hunger for holiness and righteousness, then we can achieve it through the Grace of GOD!

Dear Tyra, I absolutely love you. You inspire me to do great things with my life. I love your free and fun spirit, it's like you're not afraid to be Tyra at all times. My dream is to become a very talented actress when I get older, but I'm a VERY silly, crazy-goofy girl. I LOVE that about myself. Everyone say's, "when you do get famous,you have to be serious and professional." I don't want that though, I mean, I know when it's time to be serious, but other than that I want to be Me!!!! Loud, Crazy, Wild, Silly, Clumsy, and Goofy. I honestly think my spirit would dp some good to the entertainment buisness. lol p.s. thank you, keep being Tyra, please don't change
