[ applause ] >> sexual intercourse means intercourse. sexual relations is an umbrella

term meaning everything. >> yes. >> stephanie: no. brie an writes steph i attended sexy liberal chicago. the thing that resinates to me was your answer to the coming out experience. in the end you realized that you were actually judging everyone else, and everyone lost out on 15 years ago. not worth the editing of pro announces. pro announces like they and them -- >> stephanie: right. they and it. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: your answer gave me the courage i wanted to do for five years and that was come out to my father. no woman wants to lose her father's loves specially me as my mother passed away seven years ago. last week i wrote my father a

letter telling him i was gay. and went to work. and when i came home he had left a card and it just said i love you. thank you, stephanie for giving me a push. brianne the official gay pharmacist of the "stephanie miller show." [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> do we need one? >> stephanie: yes, because sheing only dispenses rainbow drugs. i did kiss and impregnate wilson cruz last night. did you know there apparently is a female college basketball

player that is gay, as it turns out jim. >> what? shocking! >> just one? >> there are lesbians in the nba? >> stephanie: a friend of mine was talk about i remember when we found out our gym teacher was a lesbian -- wouldn't it be news if she was ant lesbian. >> yeah my female gym teacher had a mustache. we kind of knew. >> stephanie: what did sister lou think about that? >> no, that was a different school. >> stephanie: i don't follow basketball sorry, but brittany green and grinder, she is the number 1 wnba draft -- but in 2013, former bailor star brittany grinder -- g-r-i-n-e-r.

>> it is probably greener. >> stephanie: the point is she has made it to greener pastures. she did not reveal she was gay until after her college career ended last month, grinder said because her coach requested players not be publicly open about their sexuality out of fear it could affect the department and negative effect recruiting. really? it was one of those things just don't do it -- >> the next thing you are going to assume all of the male rhythmic dancers are gay. >> stephanie: right. that's a slippery slope. they tried to make it about putting your business out on the

street. >> what? >> that's being a prostitute. >> straight women put that out on the street by going out on a date with a guy. >> stephanie: right. so a lot of hopeful news on the gay right's front. and this is in the village in new york city. >> yeah. >> stephanie: a gay man was gunned down by a bigot who hurled homophobic slurs at him. one of the men snarled what are you gay wrestlers? that's clever. do you want to die here? is he your boy? when carson answered yes, he pulled out a gun and shot him in the face. it's at least the 22-anti-gay

attack in the city this year. in recent weeks as many as five anti-gay attacks have happened in the past month. >> we better start arming the gays. >> and in new york city for crying out loud. >> stephanie: i know. >> god. >> stephanie: speaking of army look who is for background checks. jeffery nugent. brother of -- >> ted nugent? >> stephanie: yes, he is the former president of revlon, the makeup company. that is so random. >> huh. >> stephanie: he writes i'm a member of the nra, former army

officer, and older brother of ted -- >> i don't think you should put that on your resume. >> stephanie: yeah i would put not that nugent. he writes not everyone is qualified to own a gun. so expanded background checks without be the priority. i believe it will keep a lot of people who aren't entitled to guns would be stopped from having them. the nra has it wrong. irresponsible gun owners are bad for everyone. if you shouldn't have access to a gun, you shouldn't have abscess to a gun.

can anyone argue with that? well, ask your dopey brother. this is the heart breaking gun story of the morning. does not involve kids however. a couple drinking in their garage, wife decided that she wanted to show off her new assault rifle, was handing it to her husband when it went off and stuck her in the head and killed her. this was this colorado the husband told police the group had been drinking in the garage of the couple's home when the 22-year-old went upstairs to get her new assault rifle, she was reaching out to hand it to her husband when the gunfires and struck her in the head.

>>, a, why was it loaded? and b, there is something called a safety, i believe on modern guns. >> stephanie: yes, okay. billy in texas. hi, billy missed ya. >> caller: hey, i miss you too. i heard you talking about that serial cheater bill clinton. >> stephanie: ah. >> caller: yeah, serial cheater. amoral son of a gun. and it reminded me of the contrast of why i despised bill clinton, as opposed to why i despise president obama. i also despise women who will put up with their husband's cheating on them -- >> stephanie: and that has never

happened to a republican -- >> caller: that's not the point. >> stephanie: he is not the only one that has ever cheated on his wife -- >> take rockefeller who died stuping his secretary. >> stephanie: right. all right. right back on the "stephanie miller show." >> not bad. i'm glad i tried it once. >> announcer: it's the "stephanie miller show." >> "viewpoint" digs deep into the issues of the day. >> do you think that there is any chance we'll see this president even say the words "carbon tax"? >> with an open mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv.
