Is Wendy Williams the talk show host a transsexual?

Answer 1

Gay people or known as "homosexuals" in the 1960's on TV were never depicted in a positive light. No gay characters were ever seen on any shows in those dark days either. If the topic did arise, and it did, however seldom, it was always on a David Susskind type of talk show where "the homosexual" was presented as the "third sex." Some type of dark and lowly creature. Maladjusted, unhappy, an alcoholic and crazed sex pervert, or worse, a potential child predator. Often depicted as a very effeminate and unreliable flake, this dangerous and false stereotype persisted for decades. Did anyone ever think that the very homophobic and hostile environment itself helped shape the mental state of those that were not heterosexual in those days ? If you put a person in a pressure cooker and turn it on high, and then they explode,...do you then say ,wonder why that happened ? They must have been weak and defective....and therefore sick ! However, this is exactly what occurred. Gay people were branded "mentally ill" and their relative dysfunction in a society were they were anathema is no big revelation. Only in 1972 dis the APA remove the mentally ill label from homosexuals. Today, it is quite another story. Not all people are heterosexual. Gay men and lesbians are valued and successful human beings in every endeavor of life. How does preferring the same gender sexually and emotionally translate into one being a bad or sick person, I ask ?
