NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)-- Taking sides in a cultural battle, some of the nation's top artists -- including Mandy Moore, Dolly Parton -- have contributed to a CD that benefits the nation's largest homosexual activist organization.

All of the proceeds from the CD, "Love Rocks," will go to the Human Rights Campaign -- a homosexual activist organization that has figured prominently in the push to legalize same-sex "marriage" nationwide and works to promote "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights."

The two-disk CD set -- which is being released just in time for Valentine's Day -- features some 30 artists, including Yoko Ono, who sings "Every Man Has a Man." Other top artists are Christina Aguilera, Emmylou Harris, Pink and Carole King...

Moore, who in 2002 starred in a movie ("A walk to Remember") targeted to Christian Teens, said she is glad to be a part of the project...

A statement by the Human Rights Campaign said the artists came together to "celebrate love and committment regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."

But Focus on the Family's Melissa Fryear, a former lesbian, said the CD's use of the word "love" is deceptive.

"Love is one of the Trojan horses for the acceptance of homosexuality," Fryear, a gender analyst, said in an e-mail to Baptist Press. "Gay activists are trying to find an argument that carries emotional weight: 'love' after all, sounds good to everyone.

"The problem, though...their definition is meant to mean the acceptance and celebration of homosexuality..."

Free people are entitled to fund and support any idiotic cause they want, and I'm free to barf. I think history will prove the gay marriage issue to be a loser.

[Richard Kimball]

Mostly has-beens. Dolly used to be great, but she's culturally totally Hollywood, now. The only one listed that I ever listened to much was Emmy Lou Harris, and I haven't bought a CD of hers since Luxury Liner. That has to be twenty or so years old.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Can you believe it? Sad, isn't it?

[zoobee]

Holy D cup batman.

[snarkytart]

Yes Dolly. She has been a favorite of drag queens for years.
They love to dress up like her...and Cher.
LOL

[RushCrush]

When will they do a CD to help fund oppposite sex marriage programs?

Oh crap. More "Cats being tortured in an iron works" vocals from Yoko... shudder.

Glad I ain't gonna buy this crap.

I plan on sending a letter to the management of Dollywood, telling them that I will no longer make my annual visits to their theme park. I will send a copy of that letter to the Chamber of Commerce in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so they all get the message.

Free people are also entitled to know about artists who are apparently helping a homosexual organization.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

There have been rumors for years about Dolly "playing for the other team," which I always assumed were just that.

Now I'm not so sure.

[Monterrosa-24]

Oh golly gee we hate Dolly P....

Dolly made a movie with Hanoi Jane and adopted her politics. Dolly is a disgrace to East Tennessee.

Great movie, she sure played a wolf in sheep's clothing ther.

Wow... what a lineup. Look out Beatles White album! I hope Yoko does a duet with Cyndi Lauper! (/sarcasm)

".......features some 30 artists, including Yoko Ono, who sings "Every Man Has a Man.""

John may as well have had one, that's for sure.

[retrokitten]

It is.

Off topic-- One of my coworkers is from the same part of Tennessee that she is from and worked at Dollywood several summers while growing up. He said the rumor is that she actually visits the park quite frequently, but since she is dressed in everyday clothes, doesn't have her hair all done up, and wears little make-up no one recognizes her.

Well said. I agree with your historic prediction.
