This is sad and hilarious all at once. Sadly I've heard some gay guys make statements like "I'm not going to do this forever." Treating their gayness like it's a damn job or something. The only thing more annoying is Tyra's use of the term 'lifestyle' to describe gay. Ugh. However, I will give Ms. Banks some rainbow points for being somewhat critical of the guy's viewpoints. Granted, I'm not the most wordly and sophisticated gay in the world, but I do know that gay is not just one look or presentation.
As I've ranted and raved about before, being gay/bi is not a lifestyle choice. If you're a beer-drinking, sports-watching/playing, hip hop head, you're just as gay as a pink polo wearin' cosmo-sippin guy in Chelsea or Castro who worships Barbara Streisand. Hopefully the guys on Tyra's show will realize thier sexuality doesn't have to be a cliche.

When I was growing up I was VERY much like all of the men on the panel, particularly Shane (the one who wants to be straight by the age of 30). When you come from a background and society that is constantly promoting gay as "wrong" or "Evil" or "Abominable" you can't help but hate yourself.
That is why I thought it was cool that the Tyra show sent Greg to a nice little spot for coffee and conversation as opposed to a nighclub...Not everyone wants to be in the bar/hook up scene.
Great show. Hopefully, they all come to embrace self love and acceptance.
