I feel bad for him sad

He seemed more tramatized by the woman molesting him than the men, though.

nod I thought I was imagining that. He seemed much more emotional and vivid when he spoke about her. But kinda glossed over the 3 men or seemed calmer or something. That whole interview was WAY weird IMO.

When he described taking the key out her coochie I thought he was gonna cry. But he was almost nonchalant when talking about getting head from the preacher in the church. whofarted

Very touching interview! I've never seen any of his "Madea" plays or movies, just saw "Why Did I Get Married Too" about a week ago, so I have not been much of a fan of his work up to this point. But after watching this interview, Tyler Perry now has my full attention. I admire him so much for speaking on these issues, and have already marked my calendar for his next appearance on Oprah on November 5th.



Too bad I missed it. I even got his email about it and still forgot.



He's had a helluva lot to deal with and I admire him too. He made his own way and no one owns him. I like some of his work and the fact that he remains open to growth.



I'm going to try to catch the show on the 5th.


Open to enroll himself in some fucking film classes!! Shit sammiches!!

This movie coming out (choice words!) Is hopefully going to be something. Its like taking a literary classic and having film interns put it together. But people buy into it.

Are you sure about THAT^?!? The word is still out about Tyler being bi on a down low.

He doesn't even strike me as bi. He seems to me like a full fledged queen.

Aaron McGruder seems to think so as well, judging by that 3rd Season episode of The Boondocks that was a straight up Tyler Perry/Madea parody.

I know it doesn't matter...and no I didn't see the show....there is no way in hell that man is not at least swinging both sides.

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Is it important that you discuss your sexual orientation with everyone on the org?

Not trying to be a smart ass but your sexual orientation is your personal business.

As far as TP goes if he's gay he is gay but i don't think he is obligated to omit that

to anyone anymore than Luther Vandross did.

Where am I talking about my sexual orientation?

Dude it went completely over your head. I never said you discussed it.

My point was if you're not obligated to discuss your sexual orientation with people

then why do you feel it's important for a celebrity to.

Don't laugh at my funk

Uhh, hasn't that been the gist of my contribution to this discussion? Arguing why I feel discussing Perry's sexuality and hypocrisy *is* justified?

And that's why I don't mind supporting his movies and career. Dude took a negative and made it positive, just like Oprah. They are people to be proud of and respect. Meanwhile you have other folk, like Paris Hilton, given even fucking opportunity since before birth, pissing life away.

Well, hell ya..

A woman putting a key in her coochie, and a child seeing that hairy shit knowing he has to get it..

Fuck that would traumatize me..

I've actually given an academic lecture on the subject of homosexuality within the African American community and the role that black media plays in perpetuating homophobia within the black community and how that has created a toxic environment that increases HIV and AIDS rats within our black community. I think I am being civil and respectful of other's opinions during my conversations and within this thread. If you can't deal with an adult discussion then why don't you go post on the uptenth dildo thread or something. Cause I'm challenging thought and not forcing my opinion on you or anyone else.

I swear man....seriously.

It does, IMHO, when you perpetuate homophobia in your art and you refuse to discuss how religion within your community is perpetuating said homophobia within the black community all because your tired ass is scared of losing out in millions of profit.

...that's why I am pissed at Perry's tired ass and Oprah's too. To have this show aired during a very important day within the LGBT movement was straight up dangerous on Oprah's party.

Is it important that you discuss your sexual orientation with everyone on the org?

As far as TP goes if he's gay he is gay but i don't think he is obligated to omit that

Come on now, y'all's sexuality is flaunted all over the TV, movies, and music since forever. Isn't it only fair that we get a chance to flaunt ours also if we wish to do so?

Plus, with some of us being so out in the open, it shows people that we're not all the same and some of us even have the same tastes and likes as you and can be a good friend that you may have otherwise never thought you would have anything in common with. We're not all into Judy Garland and showtunes. I mean, how many gay folks have musical tastes as hard as mine and are so rigid that they not be softened? Hell, how many straight folks either for that matter? lol

nod

But for me, personally, the issue I take with this is you'd never ask someone "Is it important that you discuss your Black, Latino, Asian...and so on heritage/culture/etc with everyone?" Sexual identity (not habits or what specifically one might be "into", but identity is as much a part of us as our skin color, family roots, etc.

And i know the question was not asked of me, but Imma stick my 2cents in there anyway... yes it is most definitely important for me to discuss things about myself in an open and honest manner.

Exactly. What people don't realize is, when we talk about our homosexuality, we aren't talking about a particular "topic of the day" and won't get off that particular topic and move on to another topic. It's not a "topic" with us. We are talking about our everyday lives and who we are. Just like when a co-worker talks about their wife and kids or even when the single straight ladies man brags about his sexual conquests. We're not really different than anyone else. We just happen to like the same sex.

For the straight folk, imagine if everytime you mentioned your wife/husband/bf/gf, held their hand in public, they gave you a pec on the cheek (I'm not talkin full on makeout tho folk do that shit too) there was folk there bitchin about "Why do you have to flaunt your sexuality in my face?" That is some dumb bullshit that NEEDS TO STOP because it sucks and it's ignorant and unintelligent behavior.

I don't have to edit my life to suit everyone else just so that I can participate in normal conversation.

They also have a picture of their spouse and children on the desk or on the walls of their office. Imagine if they were told to take the pictures down. They would be furious. Their sexuality is flaunted in every way but yet we're supposed to hide ours.

That's the problem. You actually believe you come off intellectual but you really come off

as stupid. I challenged you on something and you can't deal yet you accuse others of

being on a witch hunt to prove a point and you're doing the same exact thing only worse.

It's not even that serious man. Let's agree to disagree. Moving on. wave
