What would YOU do if your mother refused to attend your wedding?

wedding.jpgThe couples on this show are happy, completely in love and oh-so-ready to walk down the aisle on their wedding days. The problem? Their family members refuse to attend -- and even threaten to ruin -- these weddings because they don't approve of these relationships. What will happen when devastated gay and lesbian couples face-off with their family members? Can their loved ones could put aside their beliefs for just one day? Watch the show to find out!

And, if your family is refusing to attend YOUR gay wedding, tell the Tyra Show about it!

No matter what is said, no matter if gouvernments are agreeing to same sex marriages..they all are doing the people's bidding just like when Moses went up to speak with God..in the meantime he was gone the people made a false god..a golden calf which when Moses returned was destroyed and the people along with them who chose to be with the false god. It is written in plain black & white in the Bible that we are not to have same sex relationships and that God hates homosexuality. The same thing will happen as when Moses came down from the mountain..when Jesus returns homosexualty will be destroyed. No matter what anyone says..no one can show in the Bible that God loves homosexuals..if it were true..then He would have made two men and the world would have stayed forever with just two men..cause two men can't have kids. Simple deduction. As for the mother refusing to attend the gay wedding, she is doing or did the right thing. It doesn't mean she doesn't love her daughter but if she is a true christian then she would not accept that kind of relationship under her roof nor attend the wedding or even associate with her..as when you do then it means you accept. God destroyed Sodom and Gormorrah..because those two cities were into homosexual activities..so much so that God regretted having made man and was going to destroy all of humankind. If Lot had not found favor in God's eyes..none of us would be here today.

life is for living no matter where ur from or what u do with anyone!god never judged anyone and HE/SHE will continue to do that!from a true catholic who is gay and has strong support from her catholic family!leave people alone and concentrate on your own problems!u might be surprised how much you can sort out by putting your energy into something positive instead of phobic bigoted and narrowminded views peace to all and to all a goood night!

Tyra, I used to watch your show everyday. I'd hoped it was finally one those strong women's programs we desperatly needed; one where it empowers the weak, forms a unity and bond... but like all other talk shows, you lost sight of the original dream you presented your viewers and have made your show nothing more than a political venue. I refuse to watch your show anymore. If it isn't about accepting homoseluality or prostitution (though you try and play the good girl to the world) then it's just more political garbage being fed to your viewers hungy-opened-mouths. How sad that you have failed in what you'd promised.

Everything has twisted around now. Right is wrong and wrong is right. This speaks volumes of our society and the future of our world. Although some may say "Gays being accepted is needed" these same people shun and are even rude and obnoxious towards those who do not share their beliefs. Where is the fairness? How can you say "accept me for how I am" and in the same breath condemn others for their choices? If you want equality, you must then accept ALL choices. Including the parents right to not attend their child's wedding. It's a wild world indeed.

I TOO AM A MOTHER OF TWO GIRLS AND IF EITHER OF THEM CAME HOME AND SAID THEY WERE MARRYING ANOTHER WOMAN I COULD DO NOTHING BUT BE HAPPY THAT MY CHILD HAS FOUND THE ONE THATS MAKES HER HAPPY THERE IS NO REASON NO MATTER THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS SHOULD PARENTS NOT ATTEND THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THEIR CHILDS LIFE SO I SAY THEY ARE WRONG BECAUSE HER SEXUAL PREFERENCE IS HER OWN DECISION AND NO ONE ESLSE'S GOD DOESNT JUDGE AND HE FORGIVES ALL HIS CHILDREN SO LET HIM TAKE CARE OF THAT

and the lady did NOT choose love over her parents. her parents choose THEIR BELIEFS OVER THEIR OWN DAUGHTER. there are plenty of women out there who date men that their parents do not approve of. is it ok then for the parent to not attend the wedding? just because they dont like the soon to be husband? this is the same thing. the parents are choosing to disown their daughter and not attend the wedding simply because they do not approve of ther person she is marrying. if i was the daughter i wouldnt even want my mom there if she was treating me like that. it is repulsive to me that a mother could be so cruel to her own baby. i am a straight Christian women. homosexuals already have to go through so much scrutiny. why cause them more pain? everyone who is against gays are judgmental, closed minded, and heartless individuals. who cares if a man wants to be with a man or a woman wants to be with a woman? it is their buisness not yours. its their happiness, not yours. it is their life, not yours. let them live it the way they want. stop judging people. live your own life. and let them live theirs. in peace. anyways, our consitution tells us we have the right to pursue happiness...let them exersice this right!

i dont believe that tyra was trying to force anyone to do anything. she just wanted the parents to realise that being there and loving their daughter should be the most important thing to them. it doesnt mean changing their beliefs. its ok to not agree. but to disown your own child is wrong. if they are so relgious to not accept their daughters sexuality then they should also be religious enough to know that judging people is a sin. and disowning your daughter is also morally wrong. and as to the comment about it being an illness. it has been studied and said that there is a brain diffrence in those that are hetero and homosexual. that it is not a choice for them. but it is not an illness. they are people just like everyone of us and should be treated as such. it is the same as discriminating against someone of a diffrent race when you put down or discriminate against someone of a diffrent sexual orientation than your self. a human being is a human being regaurdless of size shape race disability sexuality or ANY OTHER DIFFRENCE that someone might have. so, although you do not have to agree with someone for having a certain sexual orientation, you do have to respect them because they are another human being. THE SAME AS YOU.

I don't understand why Tyra has to force the mom and dad to go their child's gay wedding. I understand her point. The parents don't need to alienate their daughter for being gay but they should still uphold their beliefs. But it's clear that the parents do not respect the union. They are just upholding their principles. I'm sorry, Tyra. Your point is clear. You do go to church. But you should not force people to do what they do not want to do.
