Obviously, she's a smart business woman -- she's made herself an industry. And like you said, unlike Oprah, Tyra is looking at things through a more challenging scope. I grew up on the Texas-Mexico border. It wasn't the ghetto, but still not a great environment for a boy that everyone (but me) knew was gay. I'm sure the Tyra episode will be eye-opening in exposing the cruelty and challenges that gay youth in hostile environments face.
