- WHOOPI FOR WHOOPI
-
- Whoopi Goldburg deserves praise not only for campaigning recently
- against Colorado's anti-gay initiative, but for using her new
- syndicated talk show to dispel stereotypes and promote inclusion.
-
- Guests on _The Whoopi Goldburg Show_ are asked questions that
- would send Arsenio or Jay into fits. In a poignant interview,
- Elton John told Whoopi about being gay, his sham marriage and how
- he finally found true love with a nice man.
-
- Elizabeth Taylor, asked about Hollywood homophobia, said,
- "Without homosexuals there wouldn't be this town... You take
- homosexual input out and there is no Hollywood."
-
- And Whoopi got got k.d. lang to talk extensively about why she
- decided to come out in _The Advocate_.
-
- Tell Whoopi how important it is to keep lesbian & gay issues
- upfront:
