    • Wow, it's ridiculous the way people believe you can reprogram someone's brain to make them like a certain gender. Get real people, learn to deal with it.

    • This is my tsk tsk using finger-penises. That's not the right way to do it! BTW: it's 3 in the morning (or should I say, the wee-wee hours...oh my...), so I think anything is clever right now.

    • LOL!! That was pretty funny but the matter of the fact is that people don't choose their sexuality unless it may be for pay and even then one's sexuality is questioned.
      Gay's being converted?? Gee well I guess I could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. ;)

    • It's easy to laugh at the ex-gays... but it's genuinely sad really. Denial is not just a river in Egypt as they say...

      Everyday is another day of assholes spreading their poison like there's no tomorrow. And no matter how pointless and ridiculous they are, I can't help but feel anger and bitterness grow. But then I watch your show and the good laughs it brings make everything way easier. Thank you so much for what you do!

    • I just watched prayers for bobby. When she could live up to the truth she said, I knew he was different from the second he was conceived.

    • hahaha yeah this stuff on tv is just crap. you are who you are. my mother can't stand the fact that i'm gay but im not gay because she or my father never loved me enough? they are just catholic, hardcore catholics, and i'm the gay satan child? idk but like i said you are who you are and the ones who love you for who you really are, are the only people that should matter to you. i do love my parents and they never really came around to the idea but they still see me as their daughter. i guess?

    • In the old days, religious zealots just used to whip themselves to get rid of sin. Now they just have sex with women to punish themselves... If I were a woman I'd be insulted.

    • Gay conversion makes as much sense as attempting to change your race with cosmetic proceedures. Sure, you might (or might not) be able to convince other people, but you'll always know it's a lie.

      If that lie makes you happy, fine. You'll probably end up realising you ruined your chance of being truely happy when it's too late to reclaim any time.

    • xJasper:

      That is a magnificent metaphor xJasper. I am sure that is true and you should say that more often. People might finally realize what "converting" does. Trying to convert yourself will only bottle up the truth which will blow up in your future family's face or simply your future life.
      The sooner you come to accept it and learn to live with it the sooner you'll realize its not such a bad thing, it's just a human thing. We are all human and therefore we are all different. ALL DIFFERENT.

      Oh and I think these segments are BRILLIANT! They f****ing take the words right out of my mouth and add a laugh too. Bravo Brian, bravo!

    • I always look forward to the new "That's Gay" segment - you never let me down Bryan! Love the part at the end for how to address how your mom emotionally molested you or how your dad didn't love you enough...hilarious

    • Good luck with "That's Straight" (way too obvious), but have you been hearing about the latest Grand Theft Auto game "The Ballad of Gay Tony", I think that should be covered...

    • I love you Brian! If only everyone had a sense of humor as refreshing as yours. This whole conversion thing sickens me. I grew up with a mother who told me that if she ever found out I was gay she would take me to the courthouse and legally disown me. My mother would not allow me to even hug gay people out of fear that I would catch AIDS!!!! I have been and will always be a proud bisexual. There is a lot of debate as to whether or not bisexuality counts. I believe it does. My heart does not belong to a man or woman alone. My heart belongs to those who treat me with basic love and respect....male or female, it makes no difference to me. I believe our higher power wants us to love EVERYONE and would never condemn me for being with a woman. As a mother I raise my child to love whomever she chooses. Gayness can not be erased by conversion. I don't think it can be erased at all. We are who we are and that's all there is to it.
