Gorham Schools Today Hosts on H8


CHRIS GORHAM X390 (MSNBC GRAB) | ADVOCATE.COM

During an appearance on Today, actor Christopher Gorham was asked by confused hosts Hoda Kotb and Martina McBride about his photo taken for the No H8 campaign.

The actor, who appeared on the recently canceled gay-fave sitcom Ugly Betty, was interviewed about his new series, Covert Affairs, when the screen flashed a photo of Gorham's family. Kotb asked the actor why the photo showed tape covering the mouths of his wife and two of his children. Gorham explained that it was taken for the marriage equality campaign.

"What parent doesn't want to do that some days?" the actor said with a laugh.

Watch the interview below.

    Wow. Don't watch too many of these morning TV talk shows, but my how Hoda Kotb has changed. I remember back in the day when she was a local reporter/anchorwoman for WWL-TV in New Orleans. What's with the fake blonde hair? And the goofiness? Is there a requirement that in order to be on national talk shows you have to look and act like an airhead? Oh Hoda, sorry they changed you.

    In all fairness, I don't blame her if she was caught a bit off-guard. It's a strange choice of photo to show off a family; I wonder if he requested that they put it in there so that he could speak out in support of NOH8. If so, good for him...but the message might have gotten a bit obscured by her question and his fairly rushed answer.

    This is the TODAY show people!!! This is just weeks after they had to 'learn the hard way' what a gay marriage was and why it should be included in their contest!! One must talk S-L-O-W-L-Y to them ... monosyllables... visuals to accompany all soundbites... repeat often, etc...

    He's great. What is the IQ of the two hosts? Sadly they didn't ask anything about the unconstitutional Proposition 8.
