I saw this episode of Tyra and want to applaud Morgan for her efforts with the youth. I think you looked fabulous on that stage!!! You have a confidence that a lot of youth both gay and straight can admire. You also seemed sincere in helping them. God bless you! P.S. Where did you get that coat!?!?
 
Tyra how are you? I am truly a big fan of your work and the things you do. The show you did on being gay in the ghetto made me cry so hard, and yet inspired me as well. I am not gay, however my best friend and I have cousins who are. I love them as people and don't think or treat them bad due to what they do in there own private affairs. People need to realize what other people choose to do with their lives is their God given right. They also need to realize they are not God and have no right to pass judgement on any one!!!!!!!!!!!! I go to gay clubs and to gay pride, and have a ball!!!!

Blessings to you and yours Ms. Tyra. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your shows. I so love Mr. & Mrs J they are so funny and really seem to be good friends of yours. I myself would LOVE a makeover by the two of them. I'm so proud of all the things you've done and the way you share it with other young ladies Victoria had it right when they gave you wings. Continue to be good to yourself and others.
 
Hi Tyra.. My name is Jamall and im 21. I recently saw your show about growing up gay. I also had issues growning up gay. But i have leard to deal with it. The reason for this email is to bring to the attention that not all gay people are like the ones you have on your show. Not that anything is wrong with it. People are who they are. But this is why so many people have issues accepting us for who we are. Everyone thinks that we are extremely feminen or into vough or walking or just obviously gay activities. Some of us lead perfectly normal lifes as a gay couple but representing our selves as men. By any means i am not bashing the more feminen gays in the world, I jus think that Every one should look at the different sides of gay instead of the obvious. So thanks alot for listening.... lol reading this i hope that you take this into consideration and have a show showing that being gay is not all about runway walking, voughing, and shopping.. There is a such thing as a masculine gay that is not down low. lol I have the perfect name for the show... Streight Gay Men lol Jamalljunius@yahoo.com
