The Tyra Banks Show
By Steven Fales | June 30, 2010
I was on the Tyra Banks show. Sigh. Let’s just say that by the time I finished watching my story, I didn’t recognize it. You would think that I had survived Auschwitz or Dachau. Still it is good to remind myself that those who recommended I undergo Reparative Therapy would have sent me to Auschwitz or Dachau a few generations before!
All in all I’m proud of the episode. It was called “When It’s Not In to Be Out” and I believe it won a GLAAD Media Award. It also featured John Amaechi among others. I was glad to get the word out that “Reparative Therapy” doesn’t work. And Tyra did look fantastic as a blonde. Here’s to melodramatic Daytime TV! I will never lend my story again unless I have final cut!
I think Peterson Toscano is one of our finest gay performing activists. What a great faith-based gay. I mean guy. I mean dude! It was a pleasure to take on the ex-gays with him. The ex-gay movement is simply afraid. But like I say in this clip, sexual addiction and sexual orientation is not the same thing! It took me a while to understand that important distinction. Healthy sexuality is as possible for homosexuals as it is for heterosexuals. It’s just that the straight community makes it difficult to believe that with all the sexual promiscuity they exhibit. I mean flaunt. I mean. Well, I think you know what I mean.
