O P R A H Gay Audience Moments / Mariah Carey's Gay Fans

Here's more proof that O prah is one of the LGBT community's best friends. These last months are reserved for her favorite and most special topics and she saw fit to devote an entire show to gay highlights from her entire run, "25 Years of Gay" (1/25/11). The promo even showed her battling a homophobic audience member!

Then on 4/25/11, in a show highlighting her Favorite Producers/Audience Moments, she aired these 3 segments. This was not a gay episode, yet all 3 segments were gay or gayish (I found it hilarious when the straight male producer said that he had never used "cute." Gays use the word a lot! In fact, that producer is kinda cute! heh).

Plus, in 2010, there were at least 2 two-week periods where she squeezed in 3 gay-themed episodes. It's great to have one of the world's most influential, inspirational and wealthiest people as your ally. The LGBT community needs to write her notes of gratitude.

MARIAH PART
Despite their affection, Will and Marcus are apparently just friends. As such, I wonder if it was awkward for the music video director to ask them to play gay boyfriends in the video. I don't even know if the two are openly gay (in fact, I don't even know if they're gay!). Marcus said that they had no idea how they'd look because they were recorded in a green screen in back. Computers later added in images.

Read Marcus and Will's stories here. They're fun articles!

Go to the Video Description to read 2 articles about Marcus. He's a college student and tried to get Oprah to write him a note so that he could skip class to see Mariah. He describes what it was like on Oprah, and the wonderful time they had going to NY and making the music video. Sounds like a great guy.

What Mariah Carey music video was this?

It's Mariah's remake of the Foreigner classic, "I Want to Know What Love Is." Watch the video again, beginning at 4:40 (click on this number) and then click on the links on the screen to go to Mariah's video. Will and Marcus appears in the video several times.

Everyday more more people are denouncing your fairy tales. People are sick of the lies and hatred taught. Hell and heaven are a state of mind, yours is burning with red flames of Fear. Jesus never spoke of gays, but he DID speak on passing judgement on others, and having hate in your heart. Homosexuailty is NOT a sin, but Homophobia ( fear and loathing of homosexuals) IS. Jesus said love all equally, to show love everywhere possible, you are NOT. You would be the FIRST 2 hell.
