Joy Behar brings gay teens front and center in advance of National Coming Out Day.
Joy Behar has a liberal streak which might put Keith Olbermann to shame. Last night she showed it by using her show to promote National Coming Out Day, which is Sunday, October 11. She even had a logo for it alternating with her own! Last night's topic was gay teens coming out earlier and earlier, in what was obviously a followup to the piece in the New York Times Magazine that we covered last week. She had kids from Oklahoma, who were featured in the article, on to discuss their coming out experiences. For contrast, she had Christian Siriano, who went to a creative high school, and represented both the older generation and the coasts. Check out the video after the break.

Are you smarter than a high schooler
From just the few comments we hear from the gay high schoolers, it was clear they had far more insight than Christian Siriano. He could not even sum up the words to properly denounce the phrase "that's so gay"! Of course he found the words to promote his new book. What a joke.
I am still in awe of those brave kids. They are changing this country for the better far more than Siriano. Good for them.
Living in Oklahoma for the
Living in Oklahoma for the last 39 years, I know the tremendous amount of courage it took for these teens to be honest about who they are. They live in a state whose elected officials compare them to terrorists, the black plague and everything in between.
To stand up the way they have gives me not only great hope for our younger generation, but for my home state as well.
