Dr. Phil to tape show about Prop 8 and Same-Sex marriage Tuesday Nov 18th

[SoCalNative]

Over the past several days, GLAAD has been in communication with the "Dr. Phil" show regarding a show they will be taping this week on marriage for same-sex couples and the aftermath of Proposition 8 in California.

Dr. Phil's producers are looking for audience members to participate in the taping in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Audience members will need to arrive at the Paramount Lot in Hollywood between 9:30-10AM, and the taping will take place from 11AM-12:30PM.

It's critical that supporters of marriage equality are well represented in the audience for this taping, as backers of Prop. 8 will also be present.

If you are able to attend, please contact the "Dr. Phil" show's Audience Department at one of the following two numbers for additional details and directions:

1. I don't trust "Dr. Phil" one bit.

He's an arrogant, judgmental asshat, in my humble opinion, who loves to make things extra emotional and controversial, at the expense of the people involved.

In Solidarity and Friendship With My GLBT Brothers and Sisters,

3. Exactly -- he'll find a way to blame gays -- just like he always blames the woman

"So, your husband's been cheating on you for the last five years? Well, what kinda cold shoulder have you been givin' him to drive him away from you? And you keep blaming him? How's that working for ya?"

9. Exactly (n/t)!

4. I agree

he is one manipulative SOB - there's always another agenda with him

(I too am in Solidarity with my GLBT brothers and sisters)

6. Go kick Dr. Phil's ass for us!

7. Oh Phil, is there any misery you won't ride for ratings?

We'll see how he handles it. I don't watch him and have no sense of how he has been about GLBT issues in the past, but Isuspect he is out for one thing--his own interest.

Hope GLAAD has done their prep work on this.

8. I have mixed feelings about Dr. Phil, in general, but from what I have heard

him say in the past, he is pro gay rights. I'll have to see what happens, but I do remember him being for gay rights at other times.
