Former 'SNL' star Victoria Jackson adds her rant to anti-LGBTQ sentiment in Tennessee

More than 30 years ago, Victoria Jackson performed a handstand on "Saturday Night Live" to praise the "freedom to express myself any way I like" in America.

Now, she's among the Tennessee residents speaking out against the LGBTQ community and its efforts to celebrate Pride this year.

Jackson, who was part of the "SNL" cast from 1986 to 1992, appeared at a city council meeting in Franklin, Tenn., where the Pride festival was on the docket Tuesday. She was among the scores of residents who appeared to make the case for, or against, Pride during the meeting.

The "Strip Mall" comedian took the stand and condemned homosexuality, citing various excerpts from the Bible. Drawing from her understanding of scripture, Jackson also claimed that God "hates pride."

She's turned into a bitter old woman

... way back during the GWB years, I thought this might all be an "act" from Victoria Jackson. Celebrities have taken on unpopular guises to get noticed when the public seems not interested in them anymore. It's definitely not an act, I've learned. She's really deplorable.
