In. answer to the question on the tittle, the ones that see themselves special because they have a believe about
" Jesus Christ in their heart" does not want to be called human but spiritual because they are people of the spirit not the fresh. Many times we see these people ignore atrocities putting JC as the reason. Gayle King Pushed her JC religion so many times I stopped watching. She felt so much at home with it that she also felt comfortable with a gay slur. "Its so funny" Lets ask her what she knows about this community and let see with what crazy answer she would blurt out go after the gays' Lets talk about the blood we still spill for being who we are. Would that be funny to her also?
The Pink News:
On Thursday (3 April) King was interviewing Lane about his new cookbook Your Pasta Sucks when the discussion turned to Lane’s work as a stand-up, which he has been doing since 2011.
“Can I just say one joke? I hope I don’t get in trouble,” King began as a preface. “You do a riff about white women who approached you, and they said something about cooking, and you said, ‘What in the f****try are you talking about?’ I thought that was hilarious. What does that mean?”
“I love you, Gayle King. It means exactly what you think it means,” Lane responded. “White women, they’re fine during the day, but they have one sip of a rosé and they’re like, ‘Tonight’s about me!’ They won’t stop, I’m telling you. Horrible.”
The f-word has often been use to abuse and berate gay and queer men. However, in recent years some people have sought to reclaim its meaning.
In a statement, the network said the word had already been removed from video clips of the interview and would be scrubbed from reruns of the episode.
“Gayle was quoting Matteo Lane in a live conversation,’ the statement, quoted by the Daily Mail, reads.
“We removed the slur from the later feeds of the show, as you can see on our social channels, and we have removed this version of the segment from YouTube and CBSNews.com.”
Neither King or Lane has made any public comment regarding the slur’s use.
In response, viewers expressed their disappointment that King used the slur on television, with many taking to social media platform X/Twitter.
“Did Gayle King just say that out loud on National TV!!!!!! I’m GAGGED! Literally jaw dropped!” one shocked viewer wrote.
“Not okay with @GayleKing using the f-slur in her interview with #MatteoLane on @cbs,” another said on X. “That word has a very dark history for gay men. The fact it was used so casually and laughed at on morning TV, even if she was quoting his standup, is really depressing.”
“If you have to preface quoting a joke by saying, ‘I hope I don’t get in trouble you probably should pick another joke to quote,” a third wrote.
King has long been a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, which has led to long-running, untrue rumours that her close friendship with Oprah Winfrey is more than platonic.
The pair have been friends since 1976, with rumours that they are in a secret relationship dating back almost as far.
Addressing the rumours on Melinda French Gates’ Moments That Make Us interview series in 2024 Winfrey said: “I think we’ve shared pretty much everything. For years, people used to say we were gay, and listen, we were up against that for ever. And people still may think it.”
King joked the persistent rumours made it “hard [to] get a date on Saturday night”, but added: “If we were gay, we’d tell you.”
“The reason our friendship has worked is because Gayle is happier, not happy, but happier, for me for any kind of success or victory or challenge I get through than I am for myself.
“And I feel as happy as she does, I can’t be happier than, cannot surpass Gayle. You cannot out-happy her. I am equally as happy for her.”
King added: “I just assumed everybody had a really good friend. I just assumed every woman – maybe not for men – had at least one.”
