Gay! No, this time the gayns wasn't jt implied, was specified. Oprah terviewed gay transgenred people (as , a man turned to a woman and beme lbian), The View ladi bated about whether or not homosexualy is a choice, and Tyra, well, you know how she do — but she also had an entire episo about geic ditors of sexual preference.

The clip is above, and after the jump, so much know what mak me gay (as "happy")? Monday saw two "gay experiments" happen, wh the same sad first was The Tyra Banks Show's nductg a "social experiment" volvg the "gay muny".

The send was my watchg The Tyra Banks Show for the first both s, the experiment failed and the subject urse this isn't the first time that Tyra has tackled gay issu. It was shows such as Gay For Pay, The Science Of Gaydar, and I Hate Beg Gay that somehow led to Tyra's GLAAD Award for "Excellence Media".

THE GAY KGDOM

I didn't see any of those episos, but I have to assume they were GLAAD latt gay-themed show is unlikely to w any awards, though. Jt what I look for a gay in.

But "The Gay Kgdom" was crge-ducg, and as far as "social experiments" go, I thk I'd rather participate that Stanford experiment volved seven members of the LGBT muny g together as "The Gay Kgdom" to assign rol for each other and basilly unrme each others' person to the experiment already rryg a label, so we get the "mascule gay man, " "feme gay man, " "bisexual man, " "drag queen, " "transgenred woman, " "butch lbian, " and "lipstick lbian" happens next is straight out of "Psychology 101", as the group has to assign the rol of kg, queen, pper, jter, ok, villa, and ncube. Michael (the mascule gay man) is named kg, while Kayn (the lipstick lbian) is queen. This don't s well wh Hedda Lettuce, who not only isn't award queen, but has to endure beg award rt of the rol are assigned, wh the other Michael (the feme gay man) as ok, Sam (the butch lbian) as villian, Sasha (the transgenred woman) as ncube, and Jasen (the bisexual man) as 's Jasen who tak the bnt of the cricism this experiment, wh accatns that he's "nfed" and that 's bisexuals who make hard for gays to be accepted society.

Unfortunately for Jasen, bee he's bisexual he's nsired an "outsir" this gay kgdom, and unanimoly voted, some of this was tertg, but most of was potls. That the "gay muny" there's dissent and difference of opn? That the seven people are reprentative of the lns of gays the world?

TYRA BANKS NDUCTS A GAY SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

Tyra Banks morat the discsn of "The Gay Kgdom. As I first saw on, on Tyra Banks’ talk show on April 27, she created what she lled “The Gay Kgdom, ” which clud participants wh followg inti om the queer muny: butch gay man, transwoman, butch lbian, drag queen, feme gay man, bisexual man and lipstick lbian.

That last one is fed as a women who liv wh a man premarally, so you know, that fely appli to gay people. The butch gay man was voted kg; the lipstick lbian was voted queen; the bisexual man was voted pper; the drag queen was voted jter; the feme gay man was voted ok; the butch lbian was voted villa; the transwoman was voted ncube.

TYRA BANKS GAY PORN VIOS

A genr-nformg queer person receiv a higher stat than a genr non-formg queer, so no wonr the mascule gay man and lipstick lbian were kg and queen. The feme gay man was elected to do women’s work as the ok.

Gay Is the New Black. The Gay Kgdom.
