"When he was about 11, he came to me, he goes, 'Mom, I'm sorry, but I think I'm straight,'" she recalled with a smile, as Clarkson sat back back in her chair laughing. "I tried to tell him it was a phase, but, you know," Etheridge joked.

“she recalled with a smile”

THAT.....is the most evil part to me.

Homos now actually believe being homosexual is normal.

The father if all lies is ultimately behind that notion.

Totally unbelievable. I first checked if it was the Bee, then I re-read it to ensure I’m not missing something.

Goodness!

Is this supposed to be common sense from a mother who gives her son another mother? Or whatever gender they think they are. Poor kid must be severely confused.

“”””The two-time Grammy winner and her former partner, Julie Cypher, conceived Beckett and his older sister Bailey via sperm donated from music legend David Crosby — a revelation that earned the cover of Rolling Stone in February 2000.

But in May 2020, she had to make the heartbreaking announcement that Beckett had died at the age of 21.

“Today I join the thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction,” Etheridge said in a statement. “My son Beckett, who was just 21, struggled to overcome his addiction and finally succumbed to it today. He will be missed by those who loved him, his family, and friends. My heart is broken. I am grateful for those who have reached out with condolences and I feel their love and sincere grief.””””


I had to read the entire article to learn who Ethridge is.

“in May 2020, she had to make the heartbreaking announcement that Beckett had died at the age of 21.

“Today I join the thousands of families who have lost loved ones to opioid addiction,”

All that fame and money and still can’t save their own kid from drugs.

Seems to be a lot of that going on in the entertainment industry.

Just goes to show, the Bible is of course once again correct.

Money is not the way.

Not confused—dead at age 21.

And instead of using her appearance as a platform to warn people about the dangers of opioid addiction what does she talk about?.......her late sons lament about not being a homosexual.

Good grief that is sad. SMH

How many normal people would use the death of a child as the butt of a joke?
Shameless!
