Thou shalt not speak badly of the sacred sexual deviants.
Tough love is infinitely more valuable than maudlin tolerance.
“When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back,” she said...
Can’t argue with that! :)
For the fools who still thing that there is freedom of speech in the formerly great (but no longer) USA, when they take away your livelihood there is no freedom of speech.
She’s a Christian and not a lesbian. I’m shocked, but pleasantly so.
I’ve always loved her music. Time to pull the old CDs out and give ‘em a spin.
Anne Heche was put through the wringer for abandoning a high profile same sex relationship and marrying a man.
Hollywood only makes movies about long term families that are broken up when one “partner” decides late in life to seek a divorce and get into same sex relations. Shouldn't there be at least one reality based drama about someone seeking the way out of that lifestyle?
We are being inundated with studies reporting how many lesbians are obese (overeating from depression?) and alcoholics (depression and to loosen inhibitions against such encounters?) etc. Not such a gay lifestyle it seems.
She was a big suppprter of OWS.
The only fans she had were lesbian.
He career is done.
That's the same thing the Dixie Chicks said.
ACT UP never bullied, right?
Hollywood's pinklisting of businesses and entertainers who don't stand with the Lavender Mafia isn't bullying, right?
Death threats aren't bullying, right?
Pink journalism smears of opponents isn't bullying, right?
Gaystapo tactics at their worst. Thought crime. Orwell knew the Left.
These two evil acts are so contrary to God I just can't imagine anything more odious to heaven.
I will happily await the Day of Mercy.
Depends on who "they" is. If the Government punishes you for your speech, that's a violation of the First Amendment. If your fans don't like what you say and stop buying your records, that's not. Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks.
Reminds one of Mayor Nutter's reaction to "White in Philly."
The Vichy Chicks said that patriotism was overrated.
Natalie Maines has launched a solo career now.

“Despite a seemingly insurmountable blacklist, Maines and the Chicks won five Grammy awards for their 2006 album, Taking the Long Way.”
The above writer is too ignorant (or bias) to acknowledge the leftist bias of the Grammys, which virtually every one of the past 20 years has awarded the spoken word grammy to liberal icons like both Clintons, both Obamas, Al Gore, Al Franken, Jesse Jackson, et al.

Can someone please explain to me how this is an "anti-gay comment"?
Chains didn’t drop the Dixie Chicks albums or block their concerts. Michelle Shocked has been kicked off of booked stages. Wonder what her signed contracts say about that.
She didn’t say “not that there’s anything wrong with it”.
Bob Dylan didn’t want to be a moral crusader as the 60s progressed either.
With God as my witness, I had always assumed she WAS gay.
