I don't know what it is with people and thinking that gay is just a disgrace to everything in the entire world because its not. It may not be the typical Cinderella story with the prince and the princess and i can agree that it is different, but its not a bad thing.
 
i really dont have a problem with gay ppl!!! i luv gay boys they are the best ppl to hang around if u want to have fun!!! so i think everybody should just chill out about this situation! ie they want to be gay let them!!! its really nobodies business what they do!!! so they just need to stay out of it!!!
 
Haii Tyra! Love your show. watch it everyday. Im so glad that you support gays. But i have a real problem. I am afraid to tell my parents that i am gay. because everytime i am around them, they are insulting gays. and i dont want to be shuned. And for all those people who think being homosexual is wrong, its our decission. we are doing what makes us happy. its not like we are forcing you to be gay. we dont want to get with every one of the same sex. we are just like you. the heart wants what the heart wants. how would you feel if we walked up to you and said "Your strait, thats disgusting". its like judging people for their religion. its just not right to judge people for what they believe in.
 
I totally dissargree Who cares if you are gay or bi. its your decission. Its not like we are forcing you to be gay. We keep what we do with eachother in our personal life. Just because we are gay, dosnt mean we want to get with everyone of the same sex. i am only 14, and i have been through alot. My parents dont know about me being gay. i am afraid to tell them. because they constantly are insulting gay people. and i am worried they will shun me. So if you are here to insult gay people, go to a different site.
 
hey As much as I love your show. I can't agree with you in supporting the gay community. Once again coming on to the bible and how God created Adam and Eve a man and a woman. Marriage and sex is to be between a MAN and a WOMAN. Our counrty is leaning away from what our fathers found this counrty and created it by. They fasted and prayed to God. So by California and a whole lot of others states accepting the gay communitys our counrty is going to go through a lot of pain. We're leaning away from god and his word. This war is only the being of more to come. I hope America comes to it's senses and fears God once again.
 
I am a christian and bisexual and i have found that all though some people feel the way that you do patricia, through my theology classes the fact that i am loved by god for who i am, my sexuality included, these are reaffirmed by several verses, including psalm 139, corinthians 13 and deut 30,w along with the idea that teh priniciple behind the christian faith, to love. I thank god everyday that i am fortunate to be able to attend a church that acknowledges all its memebers and members of all faiths, as well as a country that accepts and acknowledges love as love and allow the right to marriage. I also thank god for people who are willing to accept and support those in the gay community Thanks tyra!!

HI Tyra! First off i'd like to thank you for being so open and filled with love for everytype of person without discriminating. Im sure your openess have opened other young girls that look up to you and they have realized differences within people is what makes everyone unqiue. ANYWAYS! Im 18 and im a lesbian. I dont like to say im a lesbian, i'd rather say Gay. I jus prefer it. I think it would be great if on youor next show about gay/lebians or anything else in that category if you could have someones coming out story that wasnT so bad. It will show people that havent came out yet, thats its not always bad! My comimng out story, made short, is basically my mom comfronted me and ask me if i was gay since all the girls i hung out with dress like boys. I said no. I was about 15 and i was scared to tell her since my cousin told me my aunt freaked out on her! Then about 2 months later my mom found a love letter. She got mad at me that I lied but now everything is ok. All the girls I like dress like boys so its pretty obviouse and hard to find. Not that i want to, because i am proud and comfortable with my sexuality. I jus recently found out everyoneee in my family knows. From my grandparents, to my aunts to even my cousin in jail! lol. They dont treat me different and when i bring my girls around them they respect them and treat them like anyone else. I want to show people that it is not always hard. I've delt with alot, dont get me wrong. Especially with my previous girlfriends and most of thier families
