Joe Shares His Secret
Joe reveals to the nation that he is also gay. Like Chris and so many others, he knew he was gay his entire life, but never had the strength to accept his true identity. His true sexuality is the reason why he was initially so accepting of Chris coming out. It took some time for him to also feel comfortable with coming out as well. An audience member can be heard booing in the background as Joe reveals his secret.

An Intrigued Audience Member
During the recording of this segment on Oprah, audience members can be heard having an array of reactions. You have to remember, in 2006, people were not as open about discussing sexuality as they are today. The subject of sexuality was a sensitive one that people tended to shy away from, but it was that sensitivity that made people all the more curious. Someone coming out to their partner made excellent daytime tv-material, but this couple took that to a whole new level.
