No, this is not a lame Oprah/Gayle joke (even though those often make me giggle). On Wednesday, The Oprah Winfrey Show offers a very special live episode. Here's a press blurb:

Tune in LIVE on Wednesday, October 24 when The Oprah Winfrey Show travels the globe for a look into the lives of gays and lesbians in the U.S. and worldwide. Go behind the headlines to see the secret lives of gays in Iran. Meet an Indian prince whose coming out caused a controversy in his homeland. Plus, meet inspiring gay couples and families from around the world.

You can watch a preview on the show's official website. In that clip, you'll see that Staceyann Chin will be one of the guests. Sounds intriguing and definitely worth DVRing!

Check the blog tomorrow to see how it all plays out when Oprah says, "Thanks for the show idea, Ahmadinejad!"
