You said earlier that you wanted to bring a lot of people together. Have you been following the news in Mississippi regarding the anti-LGBT bill that just passed into law?
No, I haven’t heard about it. The only thing that I’ve been aware of is that there was also controversy about the confederate flag.
Does that factor at all in your wanting to leave Mississippi? My main focus in wanting to leave was because of my abusive situation, and wanting to start over with me and my daughter. Those are the type of issues I’m talking about. This is how I feel about the LGBT Community. They are people just like us. They’re not animals as someone stated before. (Ed: boxer Manny Pacquiao made those remarks. She would have sung the NA at his fight this weekend if she had won.) They’re people with feelings. Although all of us may not agree with that particular lifestyle for religious reasons–whatever the reason is. You still treat each other with respect. Everybody is a human being. We should be able to coexist with one another. I am one of the people who don’t really agree with that lifestyle. I wasn’t brought up that way, it wasn’t how I was raised. But I do have a lot of friends and a lot of people that I love dearly who are gay and homosexual and they’re such sweet, nice people. We should just respect each other’s differences and opinions and move on.
Well said, because as I've stated before not everyone HAS to agree with homosexuality as long as they don't try to treat gays as second class citizens.
Understand we are equal and treat us as such and your opinion can be just that, your opinion.
Hmm, something about that word insinuates that being gay is a choice.
She's allowed to believe what she wants to believe though, as long as she doesn't discriminate. She's probably got more things to worry about - being a black woman in American right now for one. She's fighting her own battles for her own civil rights, especially in the South.
She lost any chance at success because of this... I was never gonna buy her album anyway (not a fan of her singing), but being accepting of gays is pretty standard.
nobody is brought up or raised gay, but whatever. lol
