But pro-gay? People who don't watch his daytime talk show, about to start s 10th season, might be surprised to hear that this host has been speakg out support of gay terts -- pecially support of gay and qutng youth -- sce day fact, McGraw is so supportive that we at The Advote were somewhat nfound Febary when a few onle outlets reported advice, posted on, suggtg that the mother of a young son "take the girl thgs away" om her son "and buy him boy toys. If we had lled, we would have learned (as we did when the reps lled ) that the advice was om a show McGraw taped missteps rulted the opportuny to s down wh McGraw -- both to talk about his ne-year-old advice and to further exame the roots of his strong support for gay youth, marriage equaly, and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell.

GAY CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT WATCH

So I had five years on Oprah and ne years on here, so I've been dog this for 14 sce some of those first episos, you've been talkg about gay issu.

We al wh what we ll the silent epimics Ameri, and I thk so much of the treatment of the gay and lbian muny is silent -- and should not be. Well, I'm not sure that we have had an upswg or an uptick suicis the gay and lbian muny.

I'm not even sure we've had an uptick wh gay, lbian, or qutng youth. I mean, we know that gay and lbian youth are bullied and picked on at a much higher rate than other kids. But is a real problem for gay and lbian youth and that's not gog to change until we do somethg about , and when I say somethg about , that means we've got to te the people that are a posn to regnize , prevent , remediate when 's happeng.

DR. PHIL'S INTOLERANCE FOR THE EX-GAY COMMUNY

So my schoolg was back the '70s and at that time homosexualy was a diagnostic tegory the DSM manual, ed by the Amerin Psychiatric and Amerin Psychologil Associatn. And the wisdom that was tght then was that gay was a liftyle, that was learned.

Did you, or do you, have very many gay people your life?

Well, I haven't lled roll, I don't know how many gay iends I have or don't have, but I have many, and you know, 's tertg. I mean, people are who they are, and I know gay people that I don't like, we're not iends.

If you unrstand that your sexual orientatn is a hard-wired geic DNA realy and not a learned liftyle, then what toys you play wh is not gog to terme whether you're straight or gay, you're not gog to take a child that is hard-wired to be gay and give him G. Joe and so he be straight, and you're not gog to give a kid a Barbie and so he be gay. Do gay boy children play wh girl toys?

But I've never seen any rearch that said young male children that grow up to be gay preferred female toys. That's not a gay or straight issue, that's a parentg issue.
