Michael Musto, a gossip columnist in The Village Voice and long time fixture of the Gay entertainment community has outed Tyler Perry in his column, saying.

His mannerisms and aura are such that everyone within a mile of his finery seems to say, “He’s a gay!” So, assuming the gaydar of millions is on target as usual, why won’t the guy come out already?

Come on, Tyler. Take off your dress for a second and call The Advocate.

    People are jealous and obviously have nothin else better to do then call people gay now days. But he obvioulsy doesn’t care what anyone thinks cuz he’s makin his millions and counting.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ICEBLUEHEAT/ ICEBLUEHEAT

    I don’t think Tyler is gay he is just good at what he does. He is an excellant actor and I take my hat off to him

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/VA757/ VA757

    LOL I wouldnt be surprised if he was gay.

    I have always thought Tyler Perry was gay. It wouldn’t surprise me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackbelladonna/ blackbelladonna

    If he is he is ….and if he dont want to state that he’s gay ..then he haves a right not to !!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Heart_Mender67/ Heart_Mender67

    I think he’s gay, but who cares. He’s a human being, and we all have our likes and dislikes, he just probably likes men.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chanille/ Chanille

    Honestly, I love me some Tyler Perry and you never know. He could be gay or a metro-sexual (staight but very perticular). Either way I still love the man and will always support him. But if he is I know why he hasn’t come out. We black folks know that his main supporters are the church and the church don’t back up gay’s he’ll lose everything. His personal life should be private anyway.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/HellaSexyChic/ HellaSexyChic

    It really wouldn’t matter if he was or wasnt. people like him for him and his work..not because he is gay or straight.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DjDebonair/ DjDebonair

    Seriously who gives a dam! Why is old boy trying to “OUT” Tyler anyway. Leave that dude alone. Haters always try to bring you down when it your time to shine.

    Sounds like a hater to me.

    LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/phillipbanks1/ phillipbanks1

    Once again, White people trying to push their agenda on everyone else; Mr. Musto has read too many articles about so-called Black homophobia and feels he has to come to the rescue. As you can see by the comments, no one cares about Ty’s sexuality or Mr. Musto’s opinion. Why is it always the ugly queen trying to put someone on blast?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2cute00/ 2cute00

    I think Tyler might be gay, but like everyone has already stated, who cares??? he is good at what he does so get off his back! if he doesn’t want to come out, that’s his choice.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hipswang/ hipswang

    He’s not already confirmed? LOL! I thought he was from the beginning. How can being gay in HOLLYWOOD hurt ur career? He’s still good at what he does – it should make no difference, or boost his career, if anything.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/texasstyle/ texasstyle

    What difference does it make if a person is gay or not?…I am just proud that a Black Man is doing something positive with his life and that he’s not on the 6:00 news..we are so quick to judge..when, judgement day comes it will be Tyler Perry standing there..so all of the negative energy that we use to wonder why someone is the way they are is completely out of line…basically,we can’t get our own life in perspective for being concerned about someone else…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Piscespatty/ Piscespatty

    Tyler, you know you must be doing right if they are trying to take you down. No matter the case, We Love you,Support you and we are here for you!
    Hey Village,educate your soul!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mrcoolb2001/ mrcoolb2001

    tell me someting that I didn’t already know…..the man is making mad money and people are hating him because of that….TMZ couldn’t get a story on him like they do everyone else so what makes Micheal Musto from the Village in New York think that he could do better….Tyler Perry will always have my support…..believe it or not Perry has lived a hard life and now he has gone from rags to riches just by the Grace of God. Keep up the good work and keep making me laugh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dont_play2/ Dont_play2

    Mr. Perry worked hard to get where his is today;and he didn’t steal, rob, kill or sell dope to get there. Having a dream and being tenacious got him in the game, gay or not…so what! why is it a big deal? Some ppl are just gossip queens….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DITTTY2004/ DITTTY2004

    I DON’T REALLY RESPECT GAY FOLK UNTIL THEY MAKE THEY MARK THEN I HAVE A REASON TO RESPECT THEM, AND PERRY HAS MADE MAJOR STRIDES, ANF IF THAT’S THE REASON HE’S ABLE TO PLAY MADEA SO WELL, THEN DO WHAT YOU DO AND COME ON OUT THE CLOSET

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smarty_me/ smarty_me

    the point is he if he is gay or not will that affect his career. I say it will because of his strong base in the church. I think he is and as a lesbian wish he would come out in order to demystify homosexuality in the black community. I know thats asking alot but one can only hope to dream.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweetlady6_00/ sweetlady6_00

    I dont that Tyler Perry is gay , but if he is , that’s hes own business, Than who are you to judge any 1 , You aint God ! No matter what I really enjoy all the movies and plays that he came out with. Mr.Perry is good at what he do , Im going to contiune to support him in the movies , plays and what ever he bring out.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jayla-tha-boss/ Jayla-tha-boss

    If TP is gay thats his business but since this a blog asking my opinion I say if he is he has a significant reason to be. He had a very rough upbringing with the molestation and all. But I still love his work and appreciate him representing the AA heritage in a positive stand point. Gay or not he is truly someone that leads by example and faith.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MSCCRYDER86/ MSCCRYDER86

    U ALL ARE TRYING TO SAY HE IS GAY IS BCUZ OF HIS ABILITY TO CHANGE HIS VOICE??? THAT DOESN’T PROVE ANYTHING…WE A MALE SINGER HITS A HIGH NOTE U DON’T STARTED CALLING HIM GAY. THEN WHY CALL A MAN THAT IS DOING GOOD IN HIS LIFE AND MAKING BLACK PPL LOOK GOOD ON SCREEN AND TV…HE OFF HIS BACK…LET THE MAN BE AND STOP HATEN ON HIM. HE ISN’T THE FIRST MAN TO PUT ON A DRESS AND ACT LIKE A WOMAN ANYWAY IN ENTERTAINMENT WORLD. BACK OFF OF HIM DANG!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/honeydip357/ honeydip357

    I still don’t know why the Village Voice would try to out someone about their sexuality. It doesn’t make sense. If TP is gay, that doesn’t change anything. And if he isn’t gay, they just outed someone on a ” gaydar” hunch, which has proved time and time again to be faulty. Leave the man and let him do his thing. You don’t have to be gay to be creative.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SatiatinglyMe/ SatiatinglyMe

    One day we will learn to tend to our own business and leave others alone!!! Tylers personal life is his business! His sexuality has nothing to do with his talents. When I go to work I’m not a hederal-sexual I”m an employee, and I get recognition for being ONE HELL OF A GOOD NURSE. Tyler’s work speaks for it’s self, if you can’t hear it follow him to the bank!!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND EYES OF JESUS TYLER, THERE ARE MORE FOR YOU THAN AGAINST YOU! WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU!!

    I don’t think his being gay would hurt his popularity, it would actually explain alot.

    When did Tyler become”GAY”???? People really need to stop hating on the man! He is not gay so get over it.. Did you ever think maybe he is secure with his sexuality this is why he can wear a dress without thinking about another man?? some of you all need to go check yourselves and figure out what sex you like..Anyways the man does great things when it comes to drama and the arts..The man is creative.. Wish you would have thought of it first?? huh

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ms-Harrison-29/ Ms-Harrison-29

    Okay i just watched that new movie of his last night I have to be honest I can see his growth and progression is coming along very well. BUT, I was very offended at the ending, I am so tierd of people portraying the light-skinned pretty girls as the ememy! And Tyler Perry gone have to stop it, he does it alot.Im tierd of people acting like light-skinned pretty girls, are superficial, and selfish when the fact is all women can be it doesn’t matter what color you are, or how pretty your hair is.Doesn’t make you who you are..So stop it, Tyler! Iam a beautiful, Sensitive, Compasionate, woman and just once I would like to see that image portrayed of us in film! Help a sista out, matter of fact, my schedule is free if you looking for actresses..lol. As far as what Tyler does in the privacy of his own bedroom, what the hell do I care? As long as he’s not sleeping with men and not telling the woman he’s sleeping with he’s good. But I do not agree with that BI-s**t, pick something and go with that! Too many people getting AIDS out here because men wanna have their cake and eat it too.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Heart_Mender67/ Heart_Mender67

    I think madea is just a way for him to express his sexuality without being upfront about it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/michelle439/ michelle439

    well it dont matter to me thats hes business he a good actor

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/leonordo/ leonordo

    Of course it would hurt him. The majority of his audience is African American and we are one of the most homophobic people. Our attitude towards homosexuality is much like a racist towards us. Sad to say. We preach about everyone practicing tolerance and acceptance to us but yet we don’t practice what we preach towards others…..but much like slavemasters used the bible to justify slavery, we use it to justify our bigotry towards homosexuals.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Cheetara82/ Cheetara82

    I’m a lighter sister and don’t think it’s on purpose he does that but if it is hey I’m only carmel but red bones at least all the ones I have met can be very conceited. I thought he was gay too but not because of dressing like a woman but the men in his plays are way too fine. He picks them himself so… Either way if you’re gay do what you do but don’t sleep with women too. If you’re not welcome to fame you are not really famous until you get accused of being gay so now you know you’ve made it according to hollywood.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KenDaySha/ KenDaySha

    I had the opportunity to be an extra in “Madea goes to Jail.” Tyler Perry is very smart and intelligent and I respect him as a Director and an Actor. People really need to see there is more to him than a man in a dress.
    Ex. When he was shotting Madea Goes To Jail him and his crew were using new camera equipment to allow both himself and Madea to be showing at the same time.My point is this he had others there directing, but he had to take over as Director while dressed as Madea and get the angles right for the movie.

    Tyler I respect you as a person and while your up someone is ALWAYS going to be trying to chop you down.Stay strong and those that love you whether your gay or not will continue to pray for you.

    By the way I didn’t see any of this so called gayness in him while I was there.It was all fineness and all MAN.

Damn black men lose on both ends handle your business and do what u suppose to do doing but get questioned and ridiculed! Rob a bank and sell drugs you go to jail ! Please lay off us black men and stop hating!! But if he is gay that is not none of my business and mind yours!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hoopla42/ Hoopla42

    Tyler Perry is smart, Private, a role model, and very talented. The people/Media is always trying to “find something” negative when you are staying positive and in control. True, it’s different and but it what works for him. Madea goes to Jail couldn’t of came out at a better time…that’s what Americans need now…happiness and laughter!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chrpha/ chrpha

    If he was gay thats his business this is the united states of america

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sweets110/ Sweets110

    I do question it from time to time…

    However, since “gay” is the trendy ‘acceptable sin’… right on up there with shacking, fornicating and adultery… I don’t think being gay would completely tarnish his status among the masses…

    HOWEVER, there is certainly a segment of his fans who would NOT be pleased with it.

    Perhaps he’s fighting it. and if he is, I applaud him for that… ain’t no such thing as the ‘can’t help its’… everything is a choice.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sweets110/ Sweets110

    HOWEVER, he COULD just be a metrosexual….. *shrugs*

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Meccia8/ Meccia8

    So what if he is gay, who and the hell cares. People need to mind their business. Tyler Perry has nothing to prove to anyone. If he did come out and say that he is gay, he will still make money, because so many people love his work. Whoever is trying to put him on blast need to get a life and worry about their own issues with being gay, what a JERK

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Heaven-2-Touch/ Heaven-2-Touch

    This is just to much every time a BLACK person does something smart…the media has to find a way to bring up something to make people look side wasy at them….we you all can forget it…we love TP and that is just what it is…leave him alone go pick on someone else!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CAPRICORNWORLD/ CAPRICORNWORLD

    Why should anyone care if he is or is not? That is his life and if that makes him happy then so be it. He has given us all so much to love about him and I am sure this wont change.
    To say that he may be gay is just anotherway to get us to read whatever the papers say.
    They just can’t stand to see someone do good in life and try to do anything they can to bring them down. Don’t let the media tell you what to think or what is right or wrong.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nat33/ nat33

    Tyler Keep doing what you do! apparently this guy or however he is, is trying to ride in on Tyler’s coat tale. He was sitting around trying to figure out how to get is name on BLAST. let’s call a man that hasn’t done a thing to him a fag. When he should not matter what his sexual desires are as long as he (Tyler) is producing shows people like. So what if your gaydar or whatever you call it is flashing. Are you sure it’s not malfunctioning because of you.

    I always had a feeling he was…some of the guys he got to do his movies and plays were just too fine…but, who cares anyway. Almost half of america is homosexual people, hope on the train because you’re sure as hell going to be left behind if you don’t buck up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/such_a_fn_lady/ such_a_fn_lady

    Yes, Tyler Perry is bi-sexual. Whoever dont know that by now is delusional. Im from Atlanta where he lives and hes been spotted @ gay clubs and shyt. Most black men in the industry already come onto the biz that way or have to be willing to be turned out to make it to high status. Thats just a known fact. A few can get out of it if they’re young and making the jews alot of money-like say a Chris Brown. But who knows what he’ll be made to do now that he done fked up…..

    I wish Tyler didnt bump uglies with duded though cause he is fine as hell to me. Oh well :(

    NAWWW, Not Tyler? Hell naw, cant be. That is some BS, people cant seem to understand that. Its all an act, as black folks we have to stay ahead of the white man like every single day. And to find a hustle that some one else has not done or has not F’ed up already is very rare. He takes that Woman that he portrays on screen and stage and makes us all laugh, cry, you name it he dose it. And he makes His Money, now to call that Man a Fag or a Homo because of that seems like pure Hate to me. As my N*gga the Notorious B.I.G once said, mo money mo problems, And Jealousy and envy follow right be hind it.

    It kills me that when a black man is doing good, someone tries to bring him down. How the hell is Michael Musto gonna call himself trying to call someone out?! WTF! Was that supposed to scare TP?! Don’t worry about what TP’s sexual preference is. It’s what ever he chooses. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what you say about him! He is blessed and he knows it! And he is going to continue to do what God put him on this earth to do! And that is to make the world live, laugh and learn from his work. It’s like Kat Williams said, you need haters, so go ahead and feel free to hate Michael Musto! Cause Tyler is handlin his business! Your life is so f**ked up that you got to hate on someone that is doing the damn thing! Damn shame!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TiredMan/ TiredMan

    Personally (his movie work and plays notwithstanding), I always thought he was gay; any man THAT infactuated with a woman’s point of view insofar as relationships are concerned HAS to not on the (pun intended) straight-n-narrow (and no sisters, don’t call yourselves “checking me” for my opinion…most men do not like Tyler Perry productions, and if you meet one who says that he is, he’s only trying to win your favor or get in your pants). LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Naughtyy_by_Nature/ Naughtyy_by_Nature

    the fact remains, he makes movies that are hits, so does it matter? we still go and pay 10 dollars to see him dressed up an old woman and laugh for 2 hours. so if he comes out, what does that mean? cuz im pretty sure we’ll all still go and pay to see him. his business, his life…let him have it back.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lyke2NoU/ Lyke2NoU

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cupcake36124/ cupcake36124

    Okaaaaay….So what if he’s gay? If he is gay, it is his business and hell, he’s a “gay MILLIONAIRE!” So I wouldn’t care what the media says, if I was him!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wirehoncho/ wirehoncho

    True stuff, brother has been through is share of mess before he got where he is, so it would not hurt him to fly solo, be about his work, and making all that money!
    You know, they said the same about the late great Luther Vandross, but if he was or not, it should not matter. Great entertainer, with respect from everyone.
    I think it’s a shame when a brother is doing it right and doing it big like Tyler “just has to be gay” because he is not allowing the paparazzi into his personal life.
    Regardless if he is gay as blade, straight as a arrow or a full time swingle and back tapping a different woman every night of the week, it is his business!
    We see what happens to entertainers and public figures when they have their mess out on the street.

    Tyler Perrys sexuality is his own business. Though the negative, baffoonish steriotypes that he creates. And silly negroes lap up, is a major issue in our community. At one point we created movies like “A solders story” Coming to america, love jones, boomerange, and a raisen in the sun…..So how is that as the years go on, the value of our movies lower

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/magikk/ magikk

    I wouldn’t give a damn either way it goes. I like the plays and the movies [not a real big fan of the sitcoms though]. If he wants to come out he will if he doesn’t he won’t that’s his choice. Just like Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, and Pharrell. They make great music and believe that they are obviously in the closet. If they decide to come out then that’s their choice; if they don’t they don’t. It won’t change the music any.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ljizzal/ ljizzal

    ME PERSONALLY ,I WOULDN’T GIVE A DAMN IF HE WAS GAY OR GAY BECUASE IF HIS OWN PERSONAL LIFE.JUST BECUASE A MAN DRESS UP IN A DRESS DOESN’T MAKE HIM GAY.THE MAN IS MAKING HUNDREDS OF MILLOINS OF DOLLARS JUST DOING WHAT IS DOES BEST AND THAT IS ENTERTAINING PEOPLE .THIS MAN CAME FROM LIVING IN A CAR TO MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND NOW PEOPLE WANT TO HATE ON HIM BECAUSE OF HIS CHARACTER AS A MAN AND AS ACTOR/ENTERTAINER.THAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD RIGHT NOW ,TOO MANY PEOPLE HATIN AND NOT ENOUGH SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

Who really cares if he is He is truly blessed and has continued to bring laughter to so many homes and to all that make it to his plays. In a time like now we need to worry about more on making some one smile and feel good and sometimes that is all alot of us have to hold on too. Thank God for tyler perry and the many more tyler perry’s to follow. So to the media report something someone wants to read instead of all this bull crap that is ready for the trash. Peace

Let him make his money and leave him alone. We dont say nothing when Martin dressed up like a woman. We did’nt say nothing when eddie was dressing like women. What about flip wilson? Sean Penn, who just won a oscar for playing a gay man?????? You just mad cause he’s doing something with himself! And if he was gay, that is done of people bussiness.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ikidas/ ikidas

    TP is a ridah, he has struggled to get where he is and I respect that wholeheartedly. As for this rumor, I have always had my suspicions but quite frankly I don’t care.

    My biggest concern over it as I read the various post is the way our people responded to McMillan’s husband. It was viewed as wrong for him to hide this and I feel that Tyler is getting a pass if he is gay.

    We as a race of intelligent people need to just chill with the double standards. If Tyler is going both ways and he is lying to these women he is with then he’s wrong and needs to be outed, but if he is all MAN, shyt get off his nuts and watch his movies anyway, Musto I’m sure you’ll even laugh your ass off.

    Wow! Nice! Just because a man is a christian and doing something positive in life, he must be gay?! Ughh!!!!!!!! Come on PEOPLE! Jealousy is a b***h! Tyler didn’t have to stand on the corner and sell drugs nor sell his momma’s tv to get where he is at. He has a relationship with God and he realizes what his calling is. When one starts to understand their assignment that God has ordained them to have, then the enemy will attack. If the enemy wasn’t attacking this hard against Tyler, then I would question whether or not God has called him or the devil. Life is funny. I am seeing all that I was raised in church to see. When they attack me at work or on the street, I know. I know that I was called. They enemy would do anything to break you. But like Tyler, I refuse to be broken. I’ve come too far! Hold your head up high Tyler and be vocal on your love for Jesus Christ.

    all in can say is “if most people in America would have come up with the idea before him, knowing that they were going to end up prosperous becuz of it, you wood have done it too”…whether he is gay or not, he “Getting It” in a major way…he is earning his prosperity becuz he is a faithful man of God…but that just goes back to the good ol’ phrase: people gone hate you/have something to say about you no matter what you do”…be that as it may, do you think that Tyler Perry cares about what somebody gotta say about him? i thinks not….

    Who cares if he is gay!!!! People need to mind there on damn business, and leave others along. If you check your own damn closet maybe you have some hidden bones in there. And for HardMuthaFlower, I bet you wont say that about Obama? They say he is gay too…So what? They are famous black people that we should be proud of. And encourage them, uplift them for the things that they have brought into our lives. If you don’t like him, speak your mind, but don’t go calling him a “PUNK ASS NIGGA!” Because he came from nothing, and now he is a somebody. Can we say that about you? Do we know you? NO! Before you go and call somebody a “PUNK ASS NIGGA”, you need to take a hard look at yourself. And see who the real “Nigga” is…
    I rest my case…

    Tyler is a fantastic business man, about his business and making money, came from nothing and made something.
    Anyone who has time enough to try to find out who he is sleeping with needs Jesus, and something to do, obviously they have way to much time on their hands.

    To answer the “question at hand” I DO NOT believe his sexual preference (meaning “HIS” preference) would effect his career! Case in point….this article!!! Many have questioned his sexuality but at the end of the day he is still making #1 box office hits (his current film? 2 weeks in a row and counting).Tyler Perry is mad talented and I respect and admire his resilience. He has endured some trials in life and serves as an inspiration to me with his major success. Who he sleeps with is none of my damn business!!! As long as Madea is on the big screen I am more than willing to support him at the box office. We have a black president now…that should serve as motivation to anyone to strive for success– and us (minorities) UNITE as one and stop all this negativity (SMH)!!!

    Being gay won’t hurt his credibility because he’s proven he’s a great film maker. But it would hurt his support because I think most of his support comes from a largely black audience and afr. americans have a large problem with homosexuality. So, I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t admit it.

    SO WHAT IF HE IS GAY DONT HATE ON HIME BECAUSE HE MAKING MILLONS

    First of all, if Tyler Perry is GAY, it’s his own personal business. It seems that this GAY reporter is only reaching to gain more celebrity sponsors for his cause. “Stay in your own yard, dude…” I, personally, am a straight male, but I truly believe that a person has the right to choose their own pathways in life without the approval of anyone else on this screwed up planet. Do your thang, Tyler, and don’t let anyone get in your way. ~Peace and Hair Grease!~

    Really who cares. He is making money. This reporter needs to get a life. Tyler being gay is not going to stop people from watching his shows so why does it matter. It is his life. Misery loves company!!!!!

    sorry we don’t care if he is gay, that would be stupid

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DC4Lyfe/ DC4Lyfe

    If he was a person disliked you’d say it was a big deal because of what he does. Stay in the closet..better to be safe den a dead batty luva

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SUTRA913/ SUTRA913

    there’s a lot of people in this game that’s gay about 80% of them,from actors to artist and those behind the scene. if Tyler did come out the closet it wouldn’t surprise me.

    WHY DOES IT MATTER IF HE IS OR NOT I AM STILL GOING TO LOVE HIM AND HIS WORK THAT HE DOES REGUARDLESS HE IS STILL HIMSELF.

    I DONT SEE WHAT HIS SEXUAL PREFERNCE HAS TO DO WITH ANYTHING. THATS HIS BUSINESS. PEOPLE WILL STILL SUPPORT HIM BCUZ HE’S TALENTED AND FUNNY AS HELL. THATS THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE ALWAYS SPREADING RUMORS. DUDE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE. HE’S JUST TRYIN TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF FOR SLANDERING OTHER PEOPLE

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JRoss7663/ JRoss7663

    why don’t those people get a life. me personally i don’t think he’s gay at all. because he put on a dress acting like a woman doesn’t mean he’s gay. the people that are writing these columns could be gay. how would you feel if tyler called you out…. think about it!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Saintjamesufc1/ Saintjamesufc1

    this is ludacris. he’s a christian man and he’s dating someone i think one of the actresses from “why did i get married” so if a man dont act like a thug and takes care of himself and respects himself and others he’s gay?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/OnADifferentLevel09/ OnADifferentLevel09

    So what if he is or not. It’s his choice not others.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Big_O_Will/ Big_O_Will

    Why can’t he just live his life in peace. He is a positive influence on todays youth. He sends positive message in his movies and tries to live his life right. I think this is just anothe way for the media to try and make dollar off someone else. Let not forget that many other blacks actors have worn dress too. For instants: Wesley Snipes,Flip Wilson,Jaime Fox,Clifton Davis an ordinated minister,just because you play this roles doesnot make a man gay or anything else. Because a man doesnot have woman in his life right doesnot make him gay. If he is true his faith, he will wait on GOD to send his mate,care about the world and their opinion of him.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/justasiam08/ justasiam08

    ok ok ok it’s not that he is not a thug that we assume he is gay i never thought denzel ,or blair, or even will was gay so stop that!..the reason some say he is gay is cause he does have “sista girl” mannerisims..but honey gay or not he is funny ..but don’t say cause he’s not thuggish he is being targeted cause it’s plenty of well to do black men in hollywood we NEVER question. oh and let’s not be niave ppl ya’ll know it’s some of us that will withdraw our support if he is gay..we are black and gay is still a no no in our community in the broad sense

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/justasiam08/ justasiam08

    there are Gay christans u know. i think he is and it is important that if he is to say so. be a gay christan let others know that you can have your faith in jesus and give your love to the same sex. it’s not nasty or against the bible you all really need to read and quote me the scripture

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/femme-i-am/ femme-i-am

    So true! His mannerisms and aura are just way too feminine for a man. It’s so obvious he is gay whether he’s out or in the closet.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ms_real2008/ ms_real2008

    Some people may already have a feeling that he’s gay but you know what? That’s his business and if he feels the need to tell everyone, then he will, that’s if he is or is not gay.
    All in all, who cares! It’s his business and his sexuality is not stopping anyone from doing their day to day business. Get a life!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/anastasia45238/ anastasia45238

    What difference does it make whether he’s gay or not. He has perfected his craft, he makes good movies, he loves his God and he takes on REAL situations instead of the old hollywood fantasy crap. God has been blessing Tyler Perry and I say bless him more.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chantesexy1/ chantesexy1

    It doesn’t matter..Mr. Perry has the number 1 movie for 2 weekends in a row. with all this negative thinking, we will never rise as race.He has made his own success…Now put a stop to all this nonsense about his personal life and admire Mr. Perry for his incredible talents!

    You know, Im against gay marriage, because I believe that title should stay between a man and woman! But back to Mr.Perry! If he is, So what! His private life is his own! It should not even married. But as we already know what the game is. They want to try and bring any Black Man down, who is doing the right thing!

    even if he was gay. the relationship with the black church and gay people would prevent him from coming out… God is not a bigot he loves us regaurdless of our sins.. and he will use whoever to spread his message because Donnie McClukin IS gay and Donald Lawrence IS gay and Richard Smallwood IS gay so who cares… because he’s doing what he needs to do. the end

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rtest4life/ rtest4life

    I have always found it rather funny that homosexual people are so sure that they have a special sense that allows them to detect who else is homosexual. Yet homosexuals continue to refuse to refer to their relationshps as what The Most High God refers to them as; “un-natural, and abominations”. So in my opinion, what this writer/author needs to be doing is praying to be delivered from that evil spirit of homosexuality and stop assuming that he knows who else is possessed with the spirit.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ykuisha21/ Ykuisha21

    People always seem to amuse me!!! Just because he acts as a elderly women in his plays and movies does not mean he is a gay man!!! Are you guys serious, even if he was gay he’s still a talented man!!! He’s very creative and smart so the haters can keep doing there job which is hating!!! Tyler Perry keep doing what you do!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MACBABI2U/ MACBABI2U

    It’s a funny kind of double jeopardy, to me. But I believe the saying is “damned if you do and damned if you don’t” and for the so-called Christians casting stones “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. Yes, it is amazing with everything else going on in the world that we still find time to try and tear people down! And half of the time those very same people would love him if they had some of his fame! Jealousy, Greed and Envy will always be alive and key! The funny part is that they don’t even realize that all publicity is good publicity. So, even though they talk down on him they may spark the interest of another individual that will love him! Don’t hate him because he had the will, nerve, courage, desire, and drive to achieve things in his life! Be inspired!Live your life to the fullest and don’t worry about the Jones’. And I’m sure someone will have something to say about this, but ask me if I care! Waist your breath if you want too!!!! lol! Only GOD has the right to judge and he doesn’t walk among us as a human(of flesh and blood)…. so hopefully you will let him judge this man! He wears a dress and a wig for a part and he’s gay? What about Duston Hoffman in Tootsie, Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayzee, John L, in TO Wong Fu; Vin R. (the black man from the gangsta movies) in the movie were dressed as a cross dressing gay man. Come on people, ” Get off tha Gas!”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/genia34/ genia34

    I AGREE WITH YOU. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP THEIR MESS. THEY ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE HE’S MAKING MONEY. THEY DON’T WANT A BROTHER TO SUCCEED. BUT ITS ALL GOOD. THE MEDIA IS SO FULL OF IT. THEY NEED TO MAKE A LAW FOR THE MEDIA ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SPREAD RUMORS. BECAUSE HALF OF THE TIME I WONDER DO THEY REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAY BEING IS WRONG. AND GOD IS NOT PLEASE WITH IT. THEY TRY AND MAKE SEEM LIKE ITS OK TO BE GAY, BUT IT IS NOT. GOD DIDNT MAKE ADAM FOR STEVE. LOL

    EVEN if he is gay, who gives this guy(?) the right to call someone out. This is as stupid as when black people kept calling out Tiger Woods and Mariah Carey about their race. BTW, yes maybe homosexuals need to pray to be delivered from the evil of homosexuality but ALL OF US need to be praying to be delivered from our evil ways as well. People please remember that homosexuals are not the only sinners in this world. Please check your closets…I’m sure you’re find satan has taken up residence there as well and since no one sin is greater than another…….

    Are you for real! One sin, is equal to another! Are you really saying that someone who steals, “to feed his kids, is on the same level, as someone who steals, because he is a lazy bastard, and during the commission of this crime, he kills someone, if he still “equal” and subject to the same punishment? You are really barking up the wroing tree, if this is your understanding!!

    All I gotta say is, if it don’t matter if he’s gay or not, let him come on out of the closet, and see if his demographic (church-going Black folks of a certain age and gender) doesn’t drop him like a bad habit…PEACE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/wayne1965/ wayne1965

    So let me see Tyler Perry is Gay not a Thug not a Gang Banger not a Drug Dealer not a Pimp not a Womanizer not a Woman Beater or a Man who has Fathered 8 children by 8 Different Women and none of the children Know who there father is OH I For Got All Those Things Are Acceptable By a Lot of People In Our Community Manly Those Who We Call Church Going Christians Who Pray All Day Sunday and Commit Every Sin in the Bible and Then Some Monday Through Saturday but that is our Community and our People.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaxfax/ blaxfax

    Whatever Tyler Perry’s sexual orientation is IS HIS OWN BUSINESS. No one has ANY RIGHT to force anyone else to reveal anything he does or does not know about him or herself. That is incredibly LUDICROUS to expect otherwise. Why is it that the media tries to hide its own salacious gossip and nosiness under the guise of assuaging public curiosity. Whoever wrote this column needs to shut him or herself up in their own closet and never come out again! At least until they learn some manners. Otherwise they do not even deserve to be in the presence of human company.

    What is more, it is damning to not allow a person who has experienced the human suffering of molestation as a child to properly heal. And healing can take a lifetime. It will never be attained if jerks like this ignoramous continue to blare out slander with no integrity. For GRAVE DISGUST AND GREAT SHAME!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/voiceofreazon/ voiceofreazon

    This is HUUUUUGE for TP because being outed in the faith based community would be a kick in the teeth for those bible thumpers who supported him. Loading up tour buses to see his movies and watching his movies as an alternative to secular movies. Really? He has a dog in the fight to NOT come out the closet and firing his WHOLE staff, yeup, suspect. It’s not his own business when he has made his business out of a false business.

    Its very sad to read some of the hateful comments some of you have posted. I am so glad that I have learned that homosexuals are people too and I although I don’t condone the lifestyle, people have a right to be who they are and love whomever they choose. I hope Tyler Perry isn’t gay but if he is God bless him anyway because he tries so hard to send out positive messages in his movies to the black community. He represents us well and he employs alot of black actors and actresses through his company. African Americans should be down on their knees thanking God for a man like TP who has recognized that there has been a breakdown in the black family structure and has done his part to try and help build it up. Say whatever the hell you want about his sexuality, it does not take away from the fact that he is a great human being doing more than some of you have ever even attempted to do and remained humble about it. If he wasn’t gay and was with a white woman,we’d complain about that also. Give the man a break and clean up around your own backyard and try to make a positive difference in the black community.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/atlantadad/ atlantadad

    I think you people have entirely lost the point here. In the African-American community most particularly there is a great deal of ignorance and bigotry toward gay people. I don’t approve of that in the least. They keep calling it a preference or lifestyle – it is a God given orientation, and God doesn’t make junk. Nobody but nobody would prefer to be gay. To defame gay people as God made them is to defame God Himself, and I don’t think God would approve of that. I am sympathetic to the fact that it would be very difficult for Tyler Perry to come out, if in fact he is gay. I think he is at least bisexual. Having said all that, he fosters homophobia in at least one of his films, and that is a disgrace. Why make money off of homophobia and to kiss up to the Bible Thumpers? Does Tyler Perry have any degree of character? That is cheap shot to make money if you ask me. It is people like Tyler Perry that make life even more difficult for gay citizens, especially gay Black citizens. Come clean. You are what you are. Why be such a hypocrite? If you are not gay or bisexual, why would you reinforce such blatant hate and ignorance? No good can some of that. Not cool. Also, I think Janet Jackson needs to realize that when she makes homophobic remarks in film, she is hating gays. Only because her Brother was attracted to children does not mean most gays are – so she does double damage.Is she also a gold digger looking for a buck at the expense of gay people? Shame, Shame, Shame!

    Once he gives up Madea a lot of that speculation will go away. Playing a feminine character for as long as he has, is NOT GOOD. (feminine characteristics). It’s time to kill Madea Tyler.
