Melissa Etheridge announced the death of her son Beckett on Wednesday, sharing that he had passed away after struggling with opioid addiction. Beckett, whom she shared with former partner Julie Cypher, was 21. Cypher gave birth to daughter Bailey in February 1997 and Beckett in November 1998. The children were conceived via artificial insemination and it was later revealed that rock legend David Crosby had been the sperm donor.

What a tragedy. Maybe choosing a drug addict to father your children isn't such a great idea.

Homosexuals should never bs allowed anywhere near children. Let alone into that demented kind of situation.

.. and being in a messed up “two mommies” family might drive one towards drugs too. I feel sorry for the young man.

Very sad. On the brink of making you way as an adult only to succumb to an addiction. RIP.

Sorta like “three strikes and you’re out”...

1) Lesbo parents.
2) Druggie sperm donor.
3) Addiction issues.

Sad story.

Drug addict and cirrhotic alcoholic who had to have a liver transplant, so he could live to pass on his worthless genetics. He didn’t pay for the liver-— no, his ultra leftie a@@wipe pals in the music biz did that, so that a deserving needy patient who never was a drunk could not get the liver he did-— and THEY died.

Poor parents lead to poor results—sexual perverts and drug abusers. Sad for the kid. RIP.

“.. and being in a messed up “two mommies” family might drive one towards drugs too.”

I sure think so.

I believe homosexuals “have” kids partly to look more “normal” to the outside world, and they disregard the psychological impact the dysfunctional “family” has on the child.

“Etheridge and Cypher split in 2000.

The singer went on to have twins in 2006 with new partner Tammy Lynn Michaels. They started dating in 2002 and announced their separation in 2010.

Cypher has been married to Matthew Hale since 2004.”

What an effing mess! Poor kids.

Vaguely resembles something that back in the day used to be called “aiding and abetting”

A child predeceasing his parents is very sad and goes against the natural order of things.

Of course not any chance the “parents” lifestyle might have contributed to this young man’s issues...

I feel for their loss, I truly do, but I also know the stats on such “familial” situations, particularly on boys.

Not true, it’s in the care of a pair homosexuals of either sex.

No they don’t all wind up screwed up, but the odds are definitely against them.
