NEXT: Tyra Show Flashback: The Gay Kingdom


 
I think you should do a lesbian 'speed dating' For lesbians out there having trouble aproaching other gay females. Butches and fems. In the LGBT community alot of str8 ppl send off the wrong signals. I think having a lez 'speed dating' would be a great success to see why lesbians have a hard time finding a girl
 
Honestly I was shocked by the treatment of the Bisexual man. It seems like the whole gay community is so excepting of so many variants of the expression of human sexuality, except when it comes to bisexuality. Human sexuality exists on a continuum. Not everyone is 100% for one gender or the other. And I was expecting some severe judgement on the Maculine gay guy. I figured they would of thought that he was hiding his true self and putting on a " straight" mask. I was glad I didnt see that. Being a masculine gay man, I know I'm not acting. This is who I am, and to act more feminine just because some gay men are like that would be to put on a "gay" mask. And I'm not about that. And by the by, the Masculine gay guy: Flipping gorgeous. No joke.
 
so.. what do you call people who would have sex with transgendered, female, male, tranvestites, hermaphrodites, third gendereds, etc? and what group would you put said people, who are not sexually turned on by gender alone? so: people who focus on the person and spirit, not the gender- what do you call us and what is wrong us?
 
well im a lesbian & i feel that gay people find themselves with the way they dress & so do the straight people majority people do label me as a lipsticl les but im not i have never used lipstick not very femmine but don't dress manish either i feel that lately the people today find a issue with anything & we should exclude the bi sexuals because eventhough i personally don't date bi sexual women doesntmean that they don't have the right to be loved!
 
i just want to say sam: you are sooo fine and i wouldnt mind going on a date with you :-)
 
I have five minutes left of this episode and could not wait any longer to say this. I am discussed by the way these individuals of the gay community acted. They are hypocritical and make the gay community look bad. They do not want to be judge, yet they are judging other people from the gay community. I think they are a bad example for the gay community. Straight, Bi, Drag, Transexual, whatever you are, you all deserve to find that one person you love.
 
honestly ...im a young bi sexual woman..i hide my love for woamn because iam scared to b judge by others,to see people agree with the the transexual thats a man i dont give a damn if she now a woman. it will never b able to have children its sick how she goes around fooling ppl.i dont care how pretty
 
I caught the end of this tyra show and found it very odd that she related the gay communmit and their drama to the drama of white and black people. Someone who as in touch with the gay community as tyra...it kind of makes one understand why people have some many issues with the gay community. I dont consider gay as a race of people as black and white are. As we all know there are white and black people who are gay. I love all people regardless of religion,race, or gender. Just thought i throw that out there peace
 
It really frustrated me to see how the bisexual, especially, was treated. I am a bisexual female and I don't know about him, but I'm not bisexual in only the sexual preference. The way I see it is that by the time I reach adulthood I want to find someone that I am compatible with, who loves me for who I am and I can spend the rest of my life with. If that happens to be a man, great. If that happens to be a woman, great. I don't care. The gender of a person doesn't matter to me; it's the person inside that really matters. It just really frustrating to hear people say like "oh pick one. either gay or straight" because I don't have a preference. If I am compatible with someone then it doesn't matter to me whether they are a man or a woman or a transgender or whatever. Love is blind, like they say.
 
While watching this episode I was very troubled by the attitudes the guests had toward each other. As a gay male in his early 20's I went to Indiana Youth Group a place for GLBT youth and we had discussions and learned from each other. We would never have had so much contraversy but would have made light of the roles. I think we are much more comfortable with each other and our community. You should do a show where you talk to the younger GLBT community and how we feel as compared to the older community because while we still face several of the same issues we have a lot more freedom and face things in a much different light.
 
Hey! I'm gay and I came out of the closet when I was at the young young young age of 14. It was somewhat of a forced come out, but I won't get into details with that now. Now I'm 18, and I'm somewhat grateful for having come out so early. It forced me to become a much more well rounded, respectful person. I can respect that there are a lot of other things out there, even with my own community. And from respecting, I've learned loving different aspects of different people. I mean I love the lipstick lesbian for her appreciation for beauty. The butch lesbian for her strong front and power. The Drag Queen also for her sense of beauty. The bisexual for his or her versatility. The list goes on and on. I kind of want to try this social experiment now. I think I'd be able to bring a different kind of acceptance. I think for the gay community, our diversity stems from looking at gay culture, and only seeing the gay side. For me, I'm lucky enough to have found balance early on. I put being gay for my romance, and sex life, and set it there. I mean... Above all else I consider myself a musician. I love music. Being gay is definitely a part of my life that I love, and what I want in my future life-style. But it's not ALL of who I am. There's SO much more beauty to every person you meet. =)
 
tyra i love your show andone of this day i'm going to come and see you girl keep it up.
 
I'm noticing a lot of criticism of this experiment, but I just think the people criticizing don't understand the experiment. They NEEDED to use labels and broad categories. It was a representation of the entire queer community in one "kingdom", and these were the perfect labels that would show how GLBT people treat each other. If they were to be anymore inclusive, they would have to add every single gay individual because in reality we are all different from each other. As a queer individual, I know that I didn't perfectly identify with the people on the show, but I still think it was a pretty good representation of how we judge each other. Drag queens and effeminate queer people being blamed by the macho gay guys for the way society labels gays, the bisexual being hated by everyone, and the transsexual being told she is a straight woman so she can't hang out with the gays anymore. We really do judge each other that way, and it needs to stop.
 
Ahmann....are you being serious? Dude, you have no clue about the LGBT community at all. I'm a Catholic and I know that my parish has no problem with being gay because they realize that it is NOT a choice. Ignorant people like you are the reason that I had such a messed up childhood. You need to stop hiding behind your religion and open your mind to the possibility that YOU don't dictate what's wrong or not. By the way, if you feel like it's a choice, then you totally had sexual thoughts and feelings about the same sex that you just choose to ignore. Dude, face the facts.....you're gay.
 
I completely agree with Ryan. I know when I was growing up, I knew what "gay" was from what I saw on TV. And since I was in denial about myself, I turned to the complete opposite of what I saw. That really does a lot of emotional and mental damage to a young kid. I am 100 percent gay, but I had multiple girlfriends that were just used as covers. I was an angry child and I did a lot of things that I regret today. However, I have completely changed from when I was a child. I am more accepting of myself. My boyfriend and I are not really involved in the gay community, and I don't feel like we should be restricted to just chilling with gay guys or whatever. Well anyway, my point is that because the media focuses on the "stereotypically gay man", children use this as a basis for their views on the gay community. Being incredibly impressionable, children will succumb to emotional damage in their future.
