Country superstar Wynonna Judd is being slammed by fellow Christians for agreeing to perform on a lesbian cruise.

Officials at America's Traditional Values Coalition are outraged by Judd's plans to appear on a four-day Caribbean cruise organized for gay couples - and they're calling on her to cancel the working trip.

In a statement, TVC bosses says, "Her involvement in providing entertainment for female homosexuals should conflict with her Christian faith. Judd should be encouraged to cancel her tour."

But the organizers of the gay cruise are determined to keep Judd on board because she's a dream ticket.

Tour organizer Amy Errett says, "She's much-loved and requested by our guests."

Too many musicians get influenced by the wrong people, I'm not gonna sit and whine about it. I've not bought any of her stuff (or really that of most any secular musician).

An unfortunate choice of words ping.

Are things so bad for Wynonna that she has to sing on a cruise--gay or otherwise? I'm sure there's a vacancy in Branson.

[Reagan79]

That's the good thing about liking mostly dead composers and traditional bluegrass music. You don't have to worry about this kind of stuff.

GO BOSOX!

Perform what?

Yeah, good question -- my strictly uninformed impression has been that the cruise gig is just one short notch above performing at the airport lounge.

Nope--one notch above regular performances at a tribal casino. (See: Kenny Rogers)

And to think... has-beens used to scrape bottom by appearing on "The Love Boat".

[Recovering_Democrat]

I don't know...a gig is a gig. Maybe Wynonna is able to provide some kind of witness to these folks. I haven't heard her going around bashing our country, this is an artist's call.

I won't slam anyone who is offended, and if ya'll want to stay away from her product, then that is fine with me. I don't listen to much Wynonna.

[Petronski]

The title is humorously ambiguous: Did Wynonna do shows on gay cruises, or did she do gay shows on cruises?

[silent_jonny]

Wynonna could be on Fox's Celebrity Boxing--that seems to be where most has-beens go.

Remember, this album is not available in stores!

Thank goodness it's not a glass-bottom boat! Especially if Rosie's on board!

[Poohbah]

Only from K-TEL Records!

Wynonna was on Oprah a few months ago with her mother and sister, and she talked very thoughtfully about how her faith has helped her. I think she is the same person that she always was.

[gidget7]

She can kiss her country music career and fan base (what's left of it) GOODBYE

Wynonna's just going on the cruise for the buffets.

Big lady.
