September 8th, 1992. Geraldo Rivera on his namesake talk show brings us ‘Gay parents and the kids who love them’, this segment with Yvonne and her children.
“…slowly over time just..met a woman, which is often the case with women. Men seem to discover it a little bit differently than that. But for me it was a particular woman.”
Yvonne has always been open-minded but never suspected she was gay. After the best 12 years of her life being open about sexuality, daughter Terry now announces she is also gay. The other two siblings think it is a phase, or result of bad marriage.
A new study suggests that gay parents are more likely to have gay children — does mom feel any culpability for her daughter’s newly expressed feelings? The conversation continues, as all agree regardless of the reasons, the path Terry is taking right now is the right one for her.
This day, Geraldo’s television history.
