Joy Behar brings gay teens front and center in advance of National Coming Out Day.

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 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.

I know it's undeserved, but when I see kids that are willing to come out (much less in Oklahoma) at such an early age; I feel proud. I sure as hell didn't have that kind of courage at that age (or even now some days). I'm projecting felling so proud and I may have to see a pyschiatrist about it. But I'll wait until the public option is available. Otherwise it'd be a pre-existing condition. Kudos to Joy. And at the risk of sounding like a hipocrite, how is it that these young kids can carry the burden but so many closet-ed adults feel it'd be too "demanding/damaging/scary".

Lordy, those children look bored.

I enjoy Joy and Christian, but I wanted to hear more from the kids! Poor Ben only got what seemed like a sentence out. Kudos to Joy for featuring the topic at least. Hopefully, she'll have them back in the future. Such is the media format we have today...
