Subscribe to Breaking NewsWithers: Etheridge says give Warren a chance
I can’t wait for the responses. There will be boycott calls and a few will even suggest album burning as the only appropriate response (those people will assure us how radical and uncompromising they are). So here goes: Melissa Etheridge thinks we gays and lesbians should give Rev. Rick Warren a chance.
The guy whose vision on sexuality is one full step beyond kooky is just misunderstood and a victim of the media. At least that is what Etheridge says.
“When I heard the news, in its neat little sound bite form that we are so accustomed to, it painted the picture for me. This Pastor Rick must surely be one hate spouting, money grabbing, bad hair televangelist like all the others. He probably has his own gay little secret bathroom stall somewhere, you know.”
Ahh but this all changed after she and Warren talked over the phone and met. The reverend is a fan of Etheridge’s music despite her incest like loving ways. Okay. Okay. That’s a cheap shot. Warren is an Etheridge groupie, apparently has all her albums, and comes off as an affable fellow in the musician’s description. In fact Etheridge says Warren took himself to task for using the words incest and pedophilia when describing gay relationships. Call me a cynic but I’ll wait to hear Warren say that himself.
Etheridge invited Warren to her home and he to his church. A special plea to my bosses: we need to have our LOGO cameras all over Etheridge and her little gay family when they go to Warren’s church!
I’m not sure where this Etheridge/Warren love fest will get us, but I do have a suggestion to Etheridge. Stay away from any all gay events for awhile. Someone is going to throw a shoe at ya.
BOYCOTT MELISSA!!!
And lets not forget that Rick Warren supports “ex-gay” groups. When he starts shutting those down, and condemning those groups, I’ll give him a second chance. Until then he can take a flying leap. All of this publicity he’s aiming for means nothing, because he is still supporting groups that are taking LGBT youth, and making them feel horrible about themselves, making them feel like they are horrid people because of who they are attracted to, and then teaching them to lie so that they can fit into what Warren and other evangelicals view as “God’s plan”.
When did those jack asses start speaking for God.
Rick Warren is a fraud, and he’s already wealthy. Why not give a decent person a chance instead?
Etheridge says give Warren a chance.
Melissa, the answer is no.
And BTW: You do not speak for me; I speak for myself based on the evidence as I see it.
As Matt said in his comment, if you want to make yourself useful, seek out the woman who was brutally raped and see what she needs. When you do something like that then I’ll listen to your “advice”.
What’s the deal with Melissa! I love her and all but seriously…she’s not a political/activist leader of our community. She’s a rock star. Who cares what she thinks? She also said we should all stop paying our taxes cause of people like Warren. Yeah…right! Us poor people don’t have that option Melissa!
I am sick and tired of gays and lesbians pandering and dancing around like puppets for straight people. Why?
Etheridge is a gender traitor clearly now… as well as someone who “plays the game.”
There are people on the cusp who do not agree or understand homosexuality, than there are those that would enjoy watching us all be killed and would help doing so.
Etheridge is no better than Rosie saying she has a crush on tom cruise or Ellen dancing like black sambo for the straight folk.
Hillary Clinton would have NEVER chosen such a bloated self important disgusting pig man like Warren.
So obama supporters you should really play yourself
What sort of lesbian feminist supports Obama? Now we know, Etheridge.
I’ll go back to molesting children now as Warren would think we do.
Good point someone made here. Melissa does not represent every gay person. She’s so completely out dated and thinking she’s above everything. Give me some real homosexuals telling me that Warren is stand up guy?
Meanwhile, you realize that Warren probably drinks the blood of infant children.
Richard, Somehow we have to ebcome a voteing block. Thru the registar of voters. We have to get the forms changed. Right next to male or female we have to get a box that we can check off that saids GAY[] Lesbian[] Straight[]. We our selves need to do this! Online on paper what ever it takes. Then we will know what our numbers are and they will know too. Stop taking us for granted. We also need to find a way to keep our D$$$$$$ in our community. $$$$$ is power!
This is why she shouldn’t have been on that Logo debate back at the begining of the campaign. It gives her a false sense of knowing anything. People wondered why she got on with no credentials and this just goes to show you why celebrities shouldn’t be given honors they haven’t earned.
Exactly! you give them a single debate spot and suddenly they think they’re experts.
Who cares what some washed-up 90’s bubble-gun rocker thinks. What makes her qualified to evaluate? The fact that she still wants to sell albums and retain some vestige of a career and not alienate people. She’s a fucktard. And her music sucks too. She can come to my window. So I can slap her in her dumb face and tell her she’s a moron.
This Etheridge woman needs to go to a re-education camp. I am a 70 year old gay man who was thrown out of the military for being gay (and treated like a common criminal in the process), physically gay bashed 3 times in my life, denied job promotions because of it, and on and on. And you would like me to play nice with this delusional screwed up religious ego maniac. Surely you jest my dear. You are not a well person and surely NOT a friend to the gay community. I don’t care how many records you have made and how much money you may have made, you are a human being that is being [crapped on] on by a large majority of the heterosexual American public. If you don’t understand that then you are totally ignorant, to be kind about it.
So this is his real position…

Melissa you are a disgrace to the community. What gives you the right to represent us. You don’t have the credentials. You can’t even see that Warren bigot right in front of your nose. You better get over it and put your efforts into getting back into good graces with your community. Stay out of what you don’t know. Try singing it works better for you.
I speak as someone who knows. I was there at Stonewall in 1969 to begin the Gay/Lesbian movement for YOU and many others. I know a bigot when I see one and Warren is a bigot. Be careful Miss Melissa because we just might leave you behind.
~ The Tale of the Has-Been She-Frog and the Evil Pseudo-Christian Scorpion ~
by Bud “Aesop” Evans
Once upon a time, a Frog named Melissa met a Scorpion named Rick one lovely, sunny morning by a pond.
Rick the Scorpion seemed very sad, so Melissa the Frog asked the Scorpion what was wrong.
The Scorpion said the he was misquoted in the Walden’s Pond Gazette and he did not mean to compare Gay Frogs to Tadpole-molesters and to inter-species amphibious perverts who let humans lick them for kicks — obviously confusing Frogs for Cane Toads. But then Scorpions have never let little things, like the facts, get in their way. Still, Rick claimed that he was taken out of context by the Liberal Media in their marshland.
Yet, Rick would not discuss his true belief that certain Bull frogs and She-frogs, who refused to make egg-jellies in the pond together, would go to hell. Neither did he mention how he helped organize a petition drive to prevent all same-sex frogs from sitting on the same lily pads together. But what did all that matter, after all he did say that he liked Melissa Frog’s croaking at night.
Predictably, Melissa Frog was very sympathetic — especially since Rick the Scorpion told her how very much he enjoyed her singing.
Feeling the love, Rick the Scorpion asked the fan-struck Star if she would give him a ride to the other side of the pond — seeing how he could not swim. It seemed that there was going to an inauguration of the new top predator in the pond, Barack the Water Moccasin, and he wanted to give his blessing.
The She-Frog refused at first — reminding the Scorpion that he might sting her if she did. At that accusation, all eight of the Scorpion’s eyes welled-up with tears.
“How could you think that I would do such a thing. Haven’t I befriended you?” He lamented.
So, with love in her foolish heart for all God’s creatures, even Scorpions, Melissa told Rick to go ahead and hop upon her back and she would ferry him across the water.
Suddenly, half way across the pond, she felt a sharp, burning sting in her back. She realized that she had been lied too… but it was too late.
As the lethal poison began to work its way through her little green body and paralyze her, she began to sink.
“Rick, why did you do this?” she cried out, “You are going to drown too!”
At first she heard no answer, then, just before she finally sunk beneath the muddy water, she heard laughter.
“The hell I am! “ exclaimed the Scorpion as he used his large pinchers to paddle the rest of the way across the pond, afloat, sitting on top his bible.

So, dear children, the Moral to the Story is simply this: The bitch got what she deserved!
