Gayle King Quotes Gay Slur on Live TV: ‘I Hope I Don’t Get in Trouble’
New York Post ^ | April 4, 2025 | Bernie Zilio

Gayle King used a gay slur while retelling a joke on live TV. The broadcast journalist was interviewing comedian Matteo Lane — who is openly gay — about his new cookbook, “Your Pasta Sucks,” when she quoted one of his jokes back to him. “You embrace being gay and your homosexuality,” King, 70, said to Lane, 38, who had been freely discussing his sexual orientation throughout the chat.

“And I’m wondering — where did this come from? The funniness that you were able to combine with cooking and and your stand-up, too?” Lane explained that he comes from “a large family where you have to have something funny to say or be opinionated, so you have to speak up,” adding that it “felt very natural” for him to merge comedy with his kitchen skills.

King then said, “Let’s talk about the stand-up [special]. Can I just say one joke? I hope I don’t get in trouble. You do a riff about white women who have approached you, and they said something about cooking, and you said, ‘What in the f—-ttry are you talking about?'” She did not censor the word. However, in later airings of the show and on social media, the slur was removed.

I miss the ‘80s, when even Sean Penn could say, “Those guys are faags!”
I remember in the ‘90s my wife’s college students describing effeminate classmates as “queer bait”.

So, you are not supposed to call a queer a fag? Since when is that a “slur”?

I thought it was an open secret that Gayle is Oprah’s “wife”. That’s the only reason she’s been stinking up the morning show all these years without getting fired.

They’re always so ‘loud and proud’ about it we should be able to refer to them any way we want.

I don’t even get the ‘joke’. Does that mean I’m still not gay even after clicking on this thread?

It's a tree that medieval executioners preferred as a source of kindling when they burned sodomites. /jk

Faggotry. As in the actions of faggots.

Free speech is permittted here. No need to tippy toe around the facts.

Faggotry! Of course.

Thanks for spelling it out for me! Sorry to be so dense.

The language of sexual perversion and gender dysphoria is puzzling, especially when free speech is outlawed and we have to tippy toe around the facts.
