(USA) - Talkshow queen Oprah Winfrey dedicated her show Wednesday to how it's like to be Gay around the world, featuring people like John Amaechi, the first NBA player to go public with his homosexuality, and Manvendra Singh Gohil, the Indian prince who's secret shocked a nation and ripped a royal family apart. Oprah also spoke with Manvendra Singh Gohil, the Indian prince who shocked his family and a whole nation by coming out publicly. Gohil lived a life of royalty, but the prince always felt something was wrong inside. In a 2006 newspaper interview, Prince Manvendra came out to the world. The people in his village were outraged. The prince has no regrets about coming out, "I will not regret that because I am true to myself and I'm true to the community, the Gay community for whom I am working, so I don't really mind," he said.
