  • that guy is a queen

  • Almost all those couples on stage are weird and haven't fully stepped out of their comfort zone yet. Gay man marrying straight woman, OMG WTF. "Not putting a label on it", dude u don't have to, the way u talk I can tell your a queer already. Making that poor stupid woman your beard is a selfish idea, you shame yourself and the gay community. I'm gay to and I can tell you that u are going to end up regretting your decision once you put it in motion.

  • OMFG the Euro guy hit that nail HARD on the head! YES! And he's so0ooo cute, too. That accent. <3 Hahaha. I love him!

  • @ezekiel13 Aw... Thank you Ezekiel... you know that was back in 1994... I am much older now... but still cute... :) And I still have the accent...

  • lmfao the way he points his finger at him. GAYYY. hes wasting his time on that woman.

  • I wonder why no one every considered bisexuality as an option? Clearly none of those men up there were bi or straight but...

  • @SynneDennis

    As the great Tina Fey once put it, "There's no such thing as Bi-Sexual that's just something they invented in the 90's to sell hair products."

  • WTF. He makes complete sense, but they deny....huh?

  • If there weren't so much discrimination towards gay people, there wouldn't be so many men that are trying to convince themselves that they are not gay and go out and to prove it by getting married to a woman, doing manly things such as football and weight lifting, even become a bully towards gay people because of self conflict. That gay man will eventually come out no matter how late in life or may simply take his closet to his grave after living a full life pretending to be straight.

  • pairing gay and straight people up?

    America really has gone mental.

  • LOL.. I remember watching this one! IvoryBrother well put and said my man. Hope all's good with you. :)

  • I guess they are going to have a Will and Grace relationship!

  • The whole world is a nightmare. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

  • That guy has a hot accent!

  • @leatopia Thank you! :-)  [blushing]

  • GETBaC since 1994

  • I don't know how I have got along without Ricki to solve all of my problems in the modern world.

  • First sane guy on a talkshow, I would +1 this guy so hard, wait that came out wrong, wait I didn't want to say that either.. Ah fuck it sane people for life!

  • ricki lake looks like a fat xena.

  • That man know he gay wavin his finger around like that he better just go get some dick and shut up

  • So I don't get it...There's a gay guy that likes a girl? Does that mean that the guy think's he's a girl, so he's a lesbian? FAIL&@!HNR&@&#(!!

  • Two men or two women cant be married BUT there can be a arrangement that will bind them together with similar things inside the law as a marriage would do. Im of course thinking of the equal right that is set in a paper-law-arrangement.

  • Hi, this is the IvoryBrother (the guy with the accent) -- I just wanted to thank everyone for kind and rather uplifting comments and compliments addressed toward my modest persona. It's hard to believe that from the day this was being taped at the Ricky Lake Studio nearly 17 years has passed. I still have the same accent... I am more mature looking but I did not age much... Check out my recent videos where I am reciting my poems and be the judge for yourself. Cheers!

  • @IvoryBrother your accent is sexy <3

  • @tighmir Thank you very much! :)

  • Your very well spoken on this clip & very, very right

  • well if they are gay and want to be with a woman then so be it. so hypocritical of them to say that b/c then we say well gays have a choice to be gay and they say well we where born this way. you can have both if he wants

  • Very good. The guy talking had a sexy accent too.

  • You make a very good point! :) and your very handsome!

  • i like how the audience moans and groans when the closeted gay guy trys to play it straight- when they're actually part of the societal atmosphere making him a closet case. Clearly they can all tell that the guy is gay, yet some of the same people would still say being gay is a choice. Doesn't make sense. O well, at least times are getting better.

  • You were absolutely fantastic. Not judgmental in my opinion, but very respectful towards these people. People are you are needed in this world.

  • "i understand that your wife..."

    "shes not my wife yet!"

    "oh ok, your girlfriend..."

    "my FIANCÉE!"

    "... ok, your fiancée..."

    hahah xD

  • I wanted to marry a girl back in the day, we had everything in common. Except I didn't want to sleep with her, but I wanted to fukk her male landlord. That kinda pissed her off. These marriages do not work, it is an intimacy thing. I just don't like the tuna and meatbags proposition-I'd rather have sausage and meatballs.

    That's just me tho.

  • Wow, that iimmigrant really knew what he was talkin' 'bout, and he didn't need a green card for it.

  • @mcbowser -- Very funny... and yes, at that time I did not have a green card, very true! LOL! however now I am a US citizen... :)

  • @mcbowser Thank you... and LOL!!! That's hilarious... especially that at that time I only had a Work Permit... I got my green card 7 years later.... :)

  • you seem really nice

  • @cutiecute64 -- Thank you much! :)

  • @IvoryBrother your welcome :)

  • @IvoryBrother And you're cute, too! Smart, cute, and principled. A great combination!

  • @darkflower2 Again... I thank you so very much for all your kind compliments!

  • IM SORRY IM GAY IVE DATED GIRLS IN THE PAST AND NO IM SORRY IM GAY AND WELL NEVER EVER DATE A GIRL PERIOD

  • Hey Kid's Its Thomas the hot flammer in black. Guess What Gina was my Best friend and we wanted a free trip to New York. I loved her and she loved me. We even had sex. We wanted to be happy and thought Anyone should be able to get married without judgement from others. Wow 16 yrs ahead of our time. Thomas

  • @amofobrooks If you both are happy then I am HAPPY for you guys!

  • @amofobrooks Did you two get married after the show?

  • @amofobrooks Thomas LOVE YOU!!!! NOTICE IT'S IN CAPS Suzi w an uzi

  • @amofobrooks I don't feel as if anyone judged the two of you personally, but perhaps doubted the future success and longevity of the marriage. I mean, it was, and is, up to you . . . but maybe the two of you *were* more advanced than most of us. I can see being companions, but never being sexually satisfied nor feeling confident about being able to satisfy my partner in a relationship like that.

  • the Russian(I think he is) has a very great point bravo to him

  • Hey IvoryBrother, how,s your life? Gina and I would love you to come for a visit.

  • @amofobrooks I WOULD LIKE THAT! Thank you!

  • Weill Hello Hater's, It's Thomas(the big queen in black) Imagine my surprise when i found this on youtube. So much hate directed at us for loving each other. Whether i was gay or not i loved gina and she loved me.Such hate and comment's of wanting to kick me in the throat.Wow, how much love do you have if it bothered you the a big nellie fag could fall in love with a woman. Well we are still vert much in love and wish all of you much love!! Miss you Rikki!!!!

  • @amofobrooks Hi Thomas. WOW! Small world, yeah, even though I made sarcastic "bubbles" except for the last one stating that today I probably would have said my comments on the Show in a slightly different way - I was very disturbed when I read that comment about kicking you in the throat. Usually I don't approve hate messages but this one I though it was just a metaphor until I was proven wrong. Anyway... I guess I was wrong about you and Gina... I am not afraid to admit to my poor judgment. :)

  • 1:24 ''I'm not gonna put a label or stereotype on myself ok?"

    Doesn't want to stereotype himself?

    He IS the stereotype.

  • ppl should just marry the person they truely love, gay, straight, bi... it doesnt matter. Those are just lables to let ppl know what you are sexually interested in. If you are a guy and you are attracted to guys then you shouldnt go marry a woman... Sexual attraction plays a big role in a marrige and a marrige between 2 ppl wouldnt be as "kinky" without it and i doubt it would last long. They should just accept who thy are...

  • Man, the guy in black is a real bitch... I totally agree with the guy in the audience. A marriage between a gay guy and a straight woman is unfair to both of them because neither will spend their life with the one they truly love.

  • if you are dating a girl and you're a guy you're stright WTF i would be confused to

  • Maybe they're just marrying each other for the financial benefits.

  • Who wrote the homophobic speech bubbles?

  • @meanwhattell - Actually, I wrote them... and they are not homophobic... they supposed to be amusing, besides they're real... Thomas was just too damn in denial then (he may no longer be this way) and you have to be absolutely blind to see how much in denial he was... Anyway, relax... no one is homophobic here... and I wasn't trying to be offensive at any rate.

  • @IvoryBrother Well they kind of are homophobic in that they are labelling someone gfor the way they act (in this case someone who acts gay) although I understand it was not your pupose to be malicious. Cool vid anyways!

  • That Euro in the audience guy rocks! Most Europeans don't give a shit about homosexuality. He makes a very valid, sensible point about being who you are.

  • @toddles9 How do you mean "don't give a shit", as in its not an issue or in we are homophobic?

  • @meanwhattell - It is not an issue...

  • @meanwhattell In that ''it's not an issue.'' Definitely. The rest of the world could learn a lot from Europe's attitude towards sex.

  • @toddles9 You are right, most Europeans care less if you are straight or gay just like they care less about topless women or a male cop kissing a guy displayed on the billboards! They're just more open-minded, less prude, less prejudice, less judgmental and less hypocritical. Sexuality in America is still a taboo subject regardless on how many porno's they sell a year. LOL! Speaking of porno's - in Europe you can watch them on regular TV channel after 10:00pm and they still have less sex crimes!

  • The russian guy is really down to earth, he should kick thomas in the throat

  • @TheSatNavs - Correction - not Russian but Polish - and I hope that the "kick Thomas in the throat" is a figure of speech... I don't condone violence... so this better was a metaphore...

  • i am glad the eastern european cat schooled these perverse fools.

  • @catchphrayse - OK... I may have schooled these in denial individuals but I will absolutely not allow anyone to disrespect homosexuals aka gay folks! They are not perverts... You should apologize... really...

  • Why do gay people speak feminine?

  • @sabdow - First of not all gay people speak or are feminine. I know some straight men (happily married to women with kids!) who are extremely flamboyant... but they don't have desire to be involved with other men sexually. I think this "feminine" stigma was created by prejudiced "straight" people who have a misconception about corelation between sexuality, sexual orientation, level of hormones and human behavior...

  • @sabdow - As much as the popular belief is that testosterone is exclusive to males and estrogen to females all humans have levels of both. While it is true that testosterone defines physique and psyche in males and estrogen is responsible for same in females sometimes hormonal imbalance can be responsible for feminine behavior in males and not necessarily defining their sexual orientation.

  • @sabdow - (conclusion) - Gay men may be inclined to act or speak feminine but I think they just not afraid to be in touch with their feminine side that every man possesses. My advice - dont overdo it. Its not attractive... :)

  • @sabdow because of hormones

  • @sabdow not all of them do.....actually most gay/bi men are masculine, ones you might hang with not knowing of their sexuality, doing things that are considered manly or masculine according to this fucked up narrow minded society

  • @sabdow also there are plenty of people that consider themselves straight that speak or act feminine

  • @sabdow dont know just another thing to ask god if you get there. Stop judging!!

  • That guy was more accepting of everyone on that stage than they were of themselves. I miss the Ricki Lake Show!!!

  • @bettescorpio - Yes, I sure was... and still am... Thank you. :) I miss Ricki, too...

  • You cant change gaypeople to straight people or the other way around. The man with the woman in this show is definitely gay, just look at the way he is acting and listen to his voice.

  • Thats right you cant change the way you are, gaypeople cant become straight people, or the other way around. The man with the woman in this show is definitely gay, i mean just look at the way he acts and listen to his voice.

  • Oh God, that Thomas is so bitchy, i dont think he should act like that. even he is gay, what to be proud with, if you are married with a woman, so you are bisex, no more question whether its okay or not. gay got 3 meanings: pure gay, bisexual gay, or transgender....so strange....what the hell, want to be famous?

  • I mostly agree with you. Unless that guy actually is not 100% gay idk, there is in between in sexuality but I would say it's probs a bad idea for them to marry. Anyways you are very cute and you explained your POV well :]

  • I agree with Yakov Smirnoff, While sexuality is rather fluidic, there are many levels between gay and straight, if you classify yourself as either extreme, then a straight/gay marriage would not work.

  • I completely agree with you ScottScott12345. This man knows exactly what he is saying.

  • Thank you, thank you very much! :)

  • i completely agree with the audience member as well.

    But, remember there are also lots of men who live married lives who sneak around on their wives and their wives don't know it.

  • Thank you for agreeing with me... and yes, you are very right about married men going behind their wives and having sex with men... those are usually bisexual men or gay married men in denial (or are just married to a woman because they are scared to be rejected by their families, friends and society)... Very complicated situations...

  • these people are retarded if ur gay then ur gay but then why would you marry the oppisite sex?

  • if both ppl love eachother who cares xD

  • @kotekotekitty people who can't find love so they try to ruin another life.

  • Some gays marry because they want to hide their sexuality, although it Is lying to the woman and hurting her as well.

  • This man is bisexual...NOT gay!

  • I can't imagine that you could consider yourself gay but want to be a woman. Being homosexual means being attracted solely to someone of the same gender. If you're finding yourself attracted to women, then you're not gay you're bisexual. Now if it's just a matter of companionship, no sexual feelings, then what's the point of getting married. Just be friends, roommates if you want to be closer. But getting married is absurd. I agree with the guy's comments.

  • Those bisexual and gay guys sure are tanned xD

  • That Polish guy is really smart. And he's right too.

  • Thank you... :)

  • You made some really good points. I respect you for standing up and speaking. Thanks for uploading this.

  • thats women is so desperate, its so obvious the guy in the black top is gay

  • No man or woman is straight.. everyone is trysexual..try anything that looks good

  • OMG! I can't believe this! These woman are willing to get married to GAY men! They are obviously looking for a life full of sorrow and infidelity. But to each their own.

  • Look on the bright side- they get to buy batteries in bulk, and look at the money they will be saving on condoms- hahahaha!!!!!

  • this has been recomended to me... someone in the household has been watching gay movies :O

  • The guy who said that he will not "label himself as gay or straight", should be wearing a huge "idiot" label.

    The issue is not about a label, it is about comming to terms with who you are, and self acceptance.

  • @elreyyyo Preach it dude.

  • I am so gonna watch this show the first time i come back from a funeral.Man, this is crazy funny.

  • I believe that anyone has the potential to fall in love with anyone else, you could be completley straight but fall in love with a person of the same gender, people fall in love with a personality not genitalia.

  • @999emlopo999 That's what i was trying to say but back in 94 people were still hung up on who should marry who!!! We have not come any further. THOMAS

  • The guy is gay but he's with a woman. WTF?

  • It is very common. Lots of guys are in the closet and are married to women. Don't forget about all the bi guys married to women.

  • we are promiscuous animals ..gays more so then eteros..

    Gay penguins are more prone to fidelity then humans ( we have bigger.....brains = more fantasies , haha )

    when will we realize that "unions" between eteros or gays are just a temporary thing

    marriage is a dead concept ( the % of divorces proves it )

    And to get married under the wings of a so called god, whichever it is...IS PREHISTORIC

    imfao

  • I don't know why you got thumbs down because you are absolutely correct. :)

  • @eutuve how are gays more promiscuous than straights? men are fucking sluts period, straights cheat on each other all the time, humans are promiscuous

  • Why marry someone if they're gay? Like all the money, & oh the next day you say to your husband, er eh huni I'm kinda gay, but I'm sure we can work around that!

  • love doesnt choose whether your a gay or not. it doesnt matter if your a gay and you married a woman or a man. what matters most is your both in love with each other. love is far more greater than anyone's sexuality. and with love it is possible...i am a gay man and i do believe that happens to any couple.gay-gay.gay-woman,etc..­.

  • Oh, that was you, IvoryBrother?

  • yup... :)

  • if some1 is gay they marry boys, if that lady is a boy then ill take this back, but im sure she isnt

  • Gay marriage baby! Homophobes can kiss my fannie.

  • I think the man is just confused. I think it is wrong to marry someone before you have come to terms with your sexuality. It makes marriage too hard. Don't get me wrong, I am not a supporter of gay marriage, but I also don't support denial

  • Why would you marry a woman if you're gay... that's just stupid.

  • The woman might be a fag hag

  • Might be? LOL

  • I can understand why. As a gay man myself women give me everything a gay man can't.

  • There is nothing a woman could offer me that my husband can't.

  • Religion, Social Pressure, weak will, afraid to be yourself, there's a whole list of reasons lol

  • People do what they want. Don't care if they marry a gay person or a straight person or freaking donkey.

    It does look more like an arrangement but if they're legally married, who cares?

  • There's a little joke that says bisexuals are unicorns... they don't exist. yet sexuality is a continuum. there is no 100% gay or 100% straight. you may identify as gay but there will still be an attraction to the opposite sex. i'm just saying if they are happy together let them be together.

  • The man in balck is funny . cool

  • I'm so sure that the guy in the light blue shirt is French , The moment he said "I will have to disagree with you" I knew he was french. That's who French start lol . " Je ne suis pas d'accord". Besides he has a French accent

  • Actually, he is Polish... surprise! :)

  • well its not so simple anymore ...gay or straight

    we have bi-sexuals which could possibly be the case for that guy with the old lady....and transvestites with straight ppl ..which i will never understand but oh well its 21st century ...we have 2 get with the program

  • wtf ur gay stop trying to be straight a mariage is based on love not image

    GOD HELP THEM PLEASE BEFORE THEY EMOTIONALLY SCAR THEMSELVES

    the bible says its wrong for gay people to pretend to be straight and also wrong for straight people to pretend to be gay

    be who you are GOD MADE U THIS WAY FOR A REASON

  • I agree with the guy,

  • Gays and straight folks should marry if they want to. Also Transexuals and straights.

    Marriage is already difficult "institution" to navigate but when you throw in something that ignorant outsiders hate one of you is going to have problems that seriously effect the relationship.

    Damn if you do and damn if you don't.

  • Im finally glad to hear somebody say if you are guy you should stay with one person.

  • Alway watched this as a little kid, lol. Never knew what it was about, but it was fun seeing all the crazy people xD

  • haha lol same ere, jerry springer was pure class

  • Hmmm... She should do a reunion show - "Where are they now?" - I bet all of them are divorced...

  • @Erek13 You would be wrong. 16 yrs and counting.

  • So this guy doesn't like labels. Give me a break. He is a walking talking label. Gay men like him make me sick and that poor woman is as dilusional as he is. And no this is not a homophobic rant, i am gay, FYI. The guy in the audience made complete sense.

  • @hfxmusicman a little self loathing dear. im a big ole queen and we are everywhere. u dont have to be but dont be scared the inner queen in u might peek out.

  • What is the world to do now that rcki isn't there to solve all of its problems?

  • good question luv

  • i have nothing against gay people,i actually have gay friends,but i do think gays should marry gays and straight people should be married to straight people.one thing i don't accept though,is someone (like this gay person )saying that people who think otherwise are not open-minded.i think our world has crossed the line here!!!!

  • Republicans believe that gay men should marry straight women, because same-sex marriage is wrong.....

  • And in Iran the gov. gives free gender reassignment surgery because they think that will technically make gay ppl straight and 'cured'. Eghhhh

  • he's using her. and she's throwing her life away. they can be friends. although marrige is really just a symbolic type of thing, she is comitting herself not to have any relationships with anyone other than someone who doesnt love her for what she physically is.

  • 10% of ny couples, the guy is bisexual or gay

  • that gay man, who says he doesn't like labels, must be hiding something. i bet he was really using her. I heard gay men can be like that. Not all gay men are all sweet.

  • @StillaVirgin  ur still a virgin and im still a bitch.

  • The foreign guy talking, is he from Russia?

  • He is from Poland... :)

  • Ivory, I REMEMBER YOU FROM 19 lol I was thinking good comment russian man! HOPE LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU!

  • Most gay relatsonships dont last history has shown that. My guess is they stay with a woman as gay males because its stable.

  • Man that one guy Mr. "I'm not going to put a label on myself..." is SO gay! and his wife is ugly LOL

  • wow those gay men sure are tanned.

  • 1. These couples are in a co-habitation marriage and not a traditional marriage.

    2. I dont' understand why American tend to classified people using black or white method. What happens with classfifying people on a continunum?

    3. I don't understand how a guy can classified himself gay but have a female finance?

  • i don t get it,is this because she's ugly and so think she 'll never find a man and so she has married a man who will never makes her feel ugly instead,cause she couldn't make her feel ANYWAY in anycase?

  • She wasn't that ugly.

  • @claudja777 what you have said is ugly, therefore making you the ugly one

  • aaahah

    the arnold swarza(fill in rest of lastname here) sounding dude, was so cute.

    aahahah, i love him.

  • AMEN

  • hells yeah! and very smart too.

  • yes, and he was right too

  • the guy with the accent is cute!

  • You're cute and i agree with you :]

  • Amazing that the this is still such an issue in the US. Things are alot more open minded in europe

  • why isn't ricki lake out anymore i liked her show

  • Some people love freely... you can be ATTRACTED to guys but FALL IN LOVE with a girl.

  • I'm gay my self, but i 100% agree with you. :)

  • this was funny as hell :) BTW, European guy is a hottie.

  • thank u... :)

  • I love your accent-so cute!

  • thank u, love!

  • oookkkAAAYYYY... *waves finger*

    lolsa...

    puuhllease. sister-bf... choke on something fat already... haha.

  • "I'm not going to put a label or stereotype on myself, OOOKAAY?"

    OK, dude, let us do it for you.

    What a waste of TV time, even for Ricki Lake.
