There aren't really many surprises to me on this list. Most of them have shown in previous career decisions a gay-friendly outlook. The only real disappointment to me is Emmylou Harris.
The problem with that mentality is that it's incredibly shallow. Not shallow for judging, but shallow in that you're basing your judgements on the tip of the iceberg you can see...ie the front man. The actor, the singer, the guy who's picture you see. The reality is that he's just one of many. When you buy a CD, go to a concert, or see a movie, you support a whole bunch of people, not just the front men and women.
There aren no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents.
Shalom.
Morals?
I disagree strongly. I think it is Biblical and commanded by Him to support those who are most faithful to Him. Where your treasures are, there is where your heart will be.
Those who you may see who seem to be so quick at letting go of some earthly possession, such as a Dolly CD, once they find that it would not please God....I am telling you, it is NOT legalism..it is their love for God that causes them to so quickly remove these things of the world from their life. We are to seriously FEAR big time the consequences that entanglement with this world may have on our lives, our destination. Many WILL fall away, why would you want to see how close you can get to a fire without it burning you! And we need to watch our puffed up pride and arrogance, thinking we are so strong, that we could not possibly fall away...it is going to get much worse..are you ready to stand firm.
Wasn't there a scandal about Dolly Parton and a minor? I read she was asked about it on Larry King and didn't deny it.
I have absolutely no clue. Haven't heard of it.
What I'm saying is that you're view is completely superficial, based on the most cursory of examinations. I'm not saying anything about what's pleasing to God. I don't know which would be more or less pleasing to God, a CD by a an outspoken artist in favor of homosexuality, or a CD produced by an outspoken record producer in favor of homosexuality. What I do know is that a whole lot of folks point and scream at the former, but are completely oblivious to the second, which is why I call it shallow.
Dollie, say it ain't so.
Has-beens and never-weres. I'm surprised that Jacko isn't on the list too, considering his proclivities...
