and i remember i was datinging somebody who had a lot of lesbian friends. so i was doing a lot of different -- going to a lot of social events. i can remember being at some big house barbecue and there were a lot of lesbians around and i was sitting back watching, thinking, looking at everybody. i realized that even the more masculine women there still had a strong female identity. it dawned on me that i never had that. and so at that point i started to think maybe i'm not a lesbian. if i'm not, what am i? at that point i started to go back over my life in my head and put these different things together. >> we're going to have a short break. when we come back, we'll get to the moment when you decide, i want to be a man. >> okay. >> i'm also going to hear from nick cannon about a scam targeting his wife mariah carey and their babies. >> saying my wife was drinking beer and all that stuff. people will do anything to try to conjure up a story. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle -- 8% every 10 years. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle los

>> sure, yeah. >> and you can't be a lesbian any more, right? >> i'm a bisexual woman. >> you remained a bisexual woman. >> and i stayed that way. so there you go. >> do you amuse yourselves when you explain all this to people who just sort of can't get it? >> we amused dave. or he did. >> what did you think watching that? >> i thought it was great. i thought it was great. and he heard that bisexual girlfriend, he was like, oh, i don't know. forget it. you know? so i get it. you know. i suppose it can be confusing to people. we are in a straight relationship. >> yeah, so the obvious question then becomes you've been together six years now. >> six. >> will you get married? have you talked about it? >> i like to. will we, piers? will we get married? >> the gauntlet's been thrown down there. >> we've been engaged actually for two years. i've kind of had to put things on hold a little bit. the other thing is we both have been real -- >> i think the lady would like you to get off the -- >> she would. >> as a man, you don't have any excuse. >> no, i d

the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community has a variety of idiosyncrasies, but i'd like to o go back to your first point, too, and say that one reason to have culturally specific treatment is because sometimes people cannot access treatment. stepping stone came into existence 35 years ago because gay men and lesbian women in san diego could not get into those recovery resources that were available then. or if they could, their experience was negative. so a number of people came together and said, well, let's start something for our community, and that was really the beginning of stepping stone, and i think that is true for a lot of these kind of culturally specific treatment programs. idiosyncrasies, sure. life in an alcohol and drug treatment program for the lgbt community is very different in many ways because the issues are very different. for example, when we built the facility 10 years ago, we had this very nice staircase that was going up to the second level. and our then ceo said to the architect, "i want that staircase to look like a woman's high heel shoe." it does,

i felt like. >> how were you failing as a lesbian?ll, because i was really a man. never wanted to be a woman. that's how i was failing as a lesbi lesbian. >> in 2005, chaz met jennifer. soon, chaz decided to go through with gender reassignment and began taking testosterone, causing tensions to flare. >> jennifer, shut your mouth. what are you talking about? it looks fine. >> stop yelling at me. >> it looks fine, leave it. >> don't yell at me. >> the hormones change people. think he's leveled out right now. there was a period where i felt the testosterone was really match cheese mow and it was hard to deal with. >> the emotional changes have been for you it sounds like the ones that have been tricky. >> at that point when i was watching the female essence leave his body, was hard. >> i'm the same person. i mean, the essence of me is me. i'm just a male version of me. >> well, she says it's now like dating your twin. >> right. i'm the male version of my former self. >> not as sweet. >> i disagree. this is her rap, you know, that's not m

i think lesbians like

-- african-american lesbian women. and yet, this ignited, initially, a firestorm of criticism, and it ended up in a positive way. can you talk about that, please? oh, yes, cheryl dunye is a fine young filmmaker-- african-american woman. and she made this film with some n.e.a. money, some help. and it was a modest film. it was a very loving film about some young african-american lesbians looking for this fictional movie star named watermelon woman, a black actress in the '30s. the scene was very tasteful. i mean, by hollywood standards, you wouldn't even bat an eye. and it was blown way out of proportion. some house of representatives-- oversight and investigation committee-- wanted, again, to hammer the n.e.a. and take all the amount of money we had given away from this filmmaker. to make a long story short, when it got to the house floor, the debate on it, shelia jackson-lee, a fine african-american congresswoman from texas, took the floor and said-- talked about diversity in our nation and the strength of diversity i

i think lesbians like a super wide vagina on their partner. the more she can shove in, the more sexual. you shouldn't sircumicize. do you have any articles about the benefits of circumcision marks a jewish boy. i know she's not a lesbian. then you don't understand. week 31, i'm not going to sircumicize. i heard on the radio that thomas jefferson owned slaves. he bowed to cultural pressure. some things are just wrong. week 32, i make the mistake of telling my mom i'm struggling with circumcision. i don't think so. i think of the stuff that can get caught in the vagina. that's not nice. andrea. if this child is jewish. he needs to be sircumicized. you don't want your boy to feel strange. that's true. i think my anxiety is fear of having a boy. i am terrified of boys. they are wild and smelly. i said, there is no way to know that. well i know for a fact you don't need it. like i wanted to talk to my dad about his penis. week 34, i don't have the double wide vagina i was hoping for. with just six weeks to go. instructions for peroneal massage. loc

they say, no, we're not saying that a gay or lesbian couldn't judge this fairly. it's that he has had a partner, a long-time partner, a ten-year partner, and maybe they'll get married and that gives him a stake in the case. at least he hasn't disavowed it. he kind of confirmed that in a meeting with -- >> belva: not that he's going to get married? >> no, i'm sorry, that he had a partner. after he left the bench at the end of february, he met with the president, felt freer to talk about the case than when he was a judge. the question about his sexual orientation and partner came up, fairly well known but never out of his mouth, so the proponents say all we had before was rumor and speculation. my only newspaper was clearly the first source of it. nevertheless, now he's gone public. he should have said it before. he should have disclosed it. this at least would have allowed us to, you know, to make a timely challenge. >> belva: what was it about it that said he should have -- unless he was planning and knew in his heart he was going to get married? >> their argument

because so many of our clients are marginalized- they are hiv positive, they are in recovery, they are lesbian or gay. we decided to introduce into treatment the whole concept of advocacy, both self-advocacy, but also societal change advocacy. and it came to the fore last year when the state was cutting hiv services, some of our clients in treatment said you know, we'd like to start a letter-writing campaign to the governors and see if we can reverse this, because this is important to us. so we facilitated that. so we do advocacy, as well as treatment in stepping stone. well, one of the greatest things, and i think from the federal government perspective, has taken an approach not only that the treatment is one of the ingredients for recovery, so many doors for recovery. and creating an ecosystem in our communities, making responsible communities that, you know, recovery is important and that the person who is in recovery to feel part of the ecosystem, the community. and that is a great thing. i think now the emphasis is not only treatment is important, but what happens after treatment. and th
