It certainly looks like she has had some kind of breakdown.

It is so hard to watch some of these churches/temples/mosques take people who are otherwise kind, open-minded, thinking, feeling humans, and turn them into hateful hypocrites.

I predict she will regret this tirade--and I mean really, seriously regret it. She sounds like someone whose sexuality got screwed up at a very early age. Between the lack of real information as a child, to being raped by a man, to being cast publicly as a lesbian icon, to finally being "born again" into bigotry and self-loathing...it's really no wonder she's pretty screwed up. I hope she gets some real help.
