    "There are all these amazing pictures of her looking at me all googly eyed ... Thank God I'm gay, or I might not be here right now!" --Rufus Wainwright

    After dueting with Scarlett Johansson at his recent Carnegie Hall appearance in New York City, even Rufus Wainwright was feeling tempted by her widely-regarded hotness.

    sorry, I just don't approve of man sleeping with man. Women sleeping with women. It just doen't fit into society. In other words it's not normal. I know, I know some of you disagree but I am only giving my opinion. I am so thankful to God I don't have this problem but I do pray for the ones that do.

    You are entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that hopefully no one in your family, i.e. your child is gay. I am sure you would not turn against them. Hopefully you will accept them as they are.

    Ms. Jackson-It's not for you to judge. And you're right. God is in charge. God made lots of people and lots of things different than yourself. Black, whites, males, females, gay, straight...and you do an injustice to His plan when you reject ALL that he created. Why do people think they know more than Him?

    I agree with you Sandra!! The Bible says it is not right. And in my State we have to fight gay marriage in the Oct vote!! If they don't believe in the Bible why do they want to get married in a Church under God's Law!! I think they are all hipocrits that only believe in themselves!!

    being gay ranks right up there with eating crustaceans, but, don't worry gays will have the same rights as you do someday... it's bound to happen... were just another group of people trying to get the same rights as everyone else...

    Thank God that I am aware and educated to the point that my fine son is not Gay because it is his "choice" or that it is a result of my parenting. He is Gay because God made him that way and I accept him completely. Perhaps more of you who invoke the name of God in your derision should look to the teachings of Christ who came to perfect the Law with Love. One of the most outward signs of love is acceptance. You, Ms. Jackson will be in my prayers.

    God also said you should sell your daughter as a prostitute, but you don't see many people doing that now do you?

    Geing Gay in not a problem for the people who are!
    Being gay is only a problem for right wing homophobes
    who usually have the highest rate of their husbands or themselves sleeping with men. I went to this Baptist Church (never again)
    for years amd this guy had played the piano for 20 years and when he found out his had Aids, there were 13 Married Men at the church he had slept with, so lets look at our own lying hypocritical men first and not what you think is right for some other Adult.
    Better yet SELL THE VATICAN AND THE FEED THE WORLD!!!

    Sandra, What makes you think your prayers will work. The poor little girl with diabetes was prayed for and almost died. Be real and face life with love and peace.

They love their Aunts wholeheartedly. So continue on and be happy, the heck with everyone else..

    Bravo Mark I am happy for both of you. 23 years is unheard these days even among so called normal people. My husband and I have been married 13 years this Oct 15 and while we hear a lot of comments get a lot of looks, we are an interracial couple we couldn't care less. Together we have raised 8 children, 3 of them mine 2 of them his and 3 of them ours. The only thing that counts is how we are as a family and how we raise those kids. So Bravo to you and forget the judges for they shall 1 day also be judged.

    Having studied the Bible more than once I cannot find any reference to where God says that a woman can't sleep with a woman. I wouldn't but it doesn't say that. So if it's ok for a woman to sleep with a woman, then what's wrong with a gay man sleeping with a woman? This story makes no sense.... What's the big deal. There are gay animal and God made them, and God made man, and some men and woman happen to be gay. It doesn't seem to be a big deal in some cultures and countries, and wasn't a big deal either until the Catholic church was created, 300 years after the Christian church of Jesus....
