I read the other day about her being a gay icon. I didn't understand why. After reading this, still don't. OTOH, kudos to Donna Summer!

I watched a documentary on her last night. She would visit the Gay AIDS victims at facilities and minister to them.

They probably stand in awe of her makeup inventory.

Gays seem to love to make icons out of train wrecks.

In her interview with Larry King, she said something to the effect that when she was down and out, it was “the gay people” who came to her and encouraged her. Or something like that. I still didn’t get it, even after that explanation.

To my shame I saw Tammy Faye on the “Surreal Life” (guilty pleasure number 358 that I indulge in). She was surprisingly dignified and compelling. RIP.

I have a long held, deep, abiding faith in God.

I have no faith at all in the institutions of man raised up in worship of God.

This woman is the personification of why I feel this way about any Church. One of many actually.....

Until she died, I never knew Tammy Faye was a ‘gay icon.’ Those nutty homosexuals!

“How did Messner become a gay icon?”

Anybody with fake eyelashes that big was bound to attract homos.

What I always wanted to hear from Tammy Faye was an apology to all the people she and Jimmie Bakker fleeced. I would have loved to have heard her say, “I’m sorry. Taking money (supposedly for a ministry) and using it feather our own nest was wrong.” Unfortunately, she continued to deny they did anything wrong. Was she willfully ignorant or just ignorant? Jim Bakker is continuing his “work” with a newer, prettier version of a Tammy Faye — and still begging for money so they can stay on the air. Tammy Faye made plans with a married man (Roe). She divorced Jim while he was in prison. Roe divorced his wife and married TF. Roe was sent to prison for, hmmm, was it tax fraud? I don’t get it.

Looks resembling a drag queen perhaps?

She is dead, the homosexual claim the dead. (matches their deathstyle)

Seriously, notice how prominent men have their wives soft pedaled into being homosexual sympathyzers.

This is just an effort to confuse her christian sympathy with an endorsement of the homosexual choice since she is dead.

Hardly a surprise. Jim was closeted IIRC. (He never admitted so, but I believe it.)

She’s a gay icon because she was sweet, understanding and loving toward gays and they felt her acceptance and love. I always liked her. I don’t care what they say; she was a sweetheart.

Now I’m really confused. Tammy Faye Potter dies at the end of the last book?
