I've actually turned off avatars because I caught my responses being way too flavored by my reaction to some of the avatars and not what was posted. That said there are some names that are so close, I have to look twice before I post because one might be typing sarcastically while a poster with a similar ID might type exactly the same thing and be dead serious. I suppose of I had avatars turned on... well I guess there are plusses and minusses either way.I wish you would get a different avatar. I'm a very visual person and I keep confusing you with Wiseone.
Seriously, watch the speech, it will bring tears to your eyes. So happy and proud of her. You can tell she was very nervous and this meant a lot to her.

Thats sad, I used to think she was cute. Glad I never seen anything of hers but X-Men, so I didn't waste my money and won't have to burn her dvds.
It sure would be nice if someone could find a cure for that disease.
Funny how she hasn't been in much lately and she suddenly decided to call a big press conference and come out.
As they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. you watch she will be in the next be film that comes out of hollywood and i am sure directors are beating on her door right now.
i love how people blow these things out of proportion.
so anyone who doesn't agree this girl is a national hero is part of the problem, is that it?

So? IMO coming out now isn't nearly as brave as it was 5 or 10 years ago.
That said, since Your Star asked I'll watch the video.
yep. if you would have told me in 2004 that we would progress this far on the issue in 10 years, i wouldn't have believed you.
Personally, I think it's still very brave. Ask any black person and they'll tell you that there is still deep seeded racism in some people, it's just not overt or as much on display as it was in the past. By "admitting" you're gay and living a gay lifestyle, you are opening yourself up to covert prejudice that you may not have experienced while "acting" straight.
The very fact that there are so many gay people who aren't "out" should make it clear that they, in their lives, feel that being openly gay is dangerous both to them personally and in their professional lives. To take such a risk with your life is courageous, in my view.
Actually I already do massive amounts of boycotting. I just added one more thing to the list.... YOU.
I'm definitely going to see the movie myself, but from what you say, the gay population has to be at about 50% of our population.
I pray that she is able to overcome her temptation and find the love of Christ instead of living a life enslaved to her temptations and living bound to sin.
You're joking. Right?
I pray that she is able to overcome her temptation and find the love of Christ instead of living a life enslaved to her temptations and living bound to sin.
Obviously that's not the case. But there are gay people in pretty much every profession.

Not bad to look at. Would be great if she turned out to still be human instead of a liberal.
And I will hope that you get over the fact that people are born straight and people are born gay, and it has nothing to do with any "god".
Go ahead and pray...the rest of us will do the thinking.
Oh, goody. Then be sure to think through the difference between your opinion and facts and which one your claim that "people are born straight and people are born gay" is.
From The Atlantic:
In short, we don't really know where human sexual orientations come from yet. What we do know is that the evidence we have that sexual orientation includes an innate component doesn't seem to point to the existence of simple "gay genes" and "straight genes." The best scientific argument we have for the innateness of straightness is that evolution obviously would favor it. Are Straight People Born That Way? - Alice Dreger - The Atlantic
