68. What. An. Idiot.

Seriously, it's stupid no matter where you say these kinds of things, but to choose San Francisco to make your statements, and then Santa Cruz to make your little 'stand' ... HELLO? These are amongst the most liberal and gay-friendly cities in the entire world. If you just HAVE to make your feelings known in this way, next time you might wanna try it in the Bible Belt rather than the West Coast of California.

So what is she, one of these 'pray away teh gay' people now? Has she been cured of her lesbianism through the love of jeebus or some such nonsense? I mean, as I recall in the 90's, she seemed ... not particularly straight, so ... what exactly is her deal now?
