On Oprah he implied he was straight. But he did that very artfully, and didn't actually address the sexuality issue, which was clearly on the audience's mind. All of them wondered, "is he or isn't he" and when he said he was "lookin to get married", the entire audience breathed a sigh of relief, swooned--and then got a little giddy. As if this was all just too good to be true---good looking guy who GETS Black women!
My suspicion is that Tyler Perry KNOWS that to keep his Christian Black female audience coming in droves, he has got to keep that fantasy going. When the jig is finally up, though, will Oprah call him om the carpet like she did James Frey?
THAT I would pay to see....
