These people belong in a psych ward and should not have custody of children.

I don't really care what an aging lesbian like that thinks. I do feel sorry for the children, though. As for equating her (luxurious and self-indulgent) situation with racial discrimination, well, that just shows her myopic and self-centered world view.

"mom pretty much covers everything"

I hope there isn't a "family" dog.

There's something about an article about two lesbians written by someone named "Dick Johnson" that amuses me.

had to interrupt the interview to conduct a phone press conference supporting Howard Dean.

My, my! Such an IMPORTANT person she is!

[prairiebreeze]

These sort of articles give me a headache.

When they finally let the 'coloreds' use their bathroom or their washroom, we all didn't die, did we? No. It's the same thing.

The difference is that being "colored" is neither a charade nor an elaborate pretension--it's an actual fact of nature.

Michaels, an actress now playing a lesbian on the cable series "The L Word," is also an author of children's books. Etheridge is more interested in politics, and had to interrupt the interview to conduct a phone press conference supporting Howard Dean.

This is becoming a disturbing trend. Women like Madonna and Tammy Michaels writing children's books.

Etheridge and Michaels gush to the gay magazine about how much they love each other and discuss the importance of their "marriage" to the relationship.

Oh, oh.. sounds like trouble in paradise to me.. ala Ellen. Me thinks they love a bit too loudly.. must be a man in the woodpile somewhere.. developing. . :)

Etheridge: "I'm Mama, or Mom. 'Mom' pretty much covers anybody and everybody."

And this doesn't bother them. And further, they think the children are OK dealing with this.

As a mother, I would be devastated if my child was calling someone else "Mom".

Who cares what them wack-o lezbots think. You have to get the kids out of that awful environment and stop them fruit-tarts popping out children from designer sperm.

Melissa Etheridge: "The walls and gates that have been held closed by people with narrow minds and fear and hate in their hearts, will burst open. And it has to. When they finally let the 'coloreds' use their bathroom or their washroom, we all didn't die, did we? No. It's the same thing."

And unless Zimbu the Monkey was allowed the be 'Maid of Honor,' AND she promises all subsequent future sperm "donations" will be courtesy of Turkish insane asylums, I shall regard Etheridge's ceremony to be a sham, and her to be a "narrow-minded" hypocrite.

Ms. Michaels (Mrs. Etheridge?) is actually kind of cute.

I can't tell whether or not she's wearing comfortable shoes.

I'd venture a guess she wasn't any of these things before grabbing on to the coat-tails of a famous lesbian. Ala Ann Heche. Only Ann's story didn't turn out so good!

[Joe Boucher]

Melissa is the man? Does that mean she wears the strap on?

What a sick freak she is...

[SamAdams76]

All of this stuff is "bread and circus."

Who gives a flying hoot about any of these morally bankrupt "celebrities." Just fodder for the supermarket tabloids. Within two years, these freaks will get another "tabloid news cycle" with the scandalous story of their inevitable "break-up" that should have every fat housewife from El Centro, CA to Bangor, ME in chocolate-eating glory as they unfurl their "National Enquirer" on their cookie-crumb laden coffee tables during commercial breaks from Oprah.

So? No skin off any Freeper's nose unless it's stuck where it doesn't belong. Learn to leave people alone. Learn to say "it's none of my business."

[thesummerwind]

"Because if I'm in a dress, then I'm going to feel like I'm in drag.

The whole lame story is a "drag."
