As a former Bernie supporter, her words are suspect. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #30

The wounds were not caused by Bernie. mmonk Apr 2016 #2

If she was irresponsible enough not to know who Bernie is before she supported him.... Armstead Apr 2016 #40

She's an author, not an oracle. NurseJackie Apr 2016 #46

Disgusted. PyaarRevolution Apr 2016 #49

See, this is where you guys lost. The poster said something. That something was an accurate Squinch Apr 2016 #109

I double down on what I said about Nationalism and Protectionism. PyaarRevolution Apr 2016 #121

Oh, FFS. So you read crap somewhere and you tell a poster that has nothing to do with the crap that Squinch Apr 2016 #122

Last time I checked in with Anne Rice she was denigrating LGBT for Jesus, having made $$$ selling Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #4

Hate the message, attack the messenger. kstewart33 Apr 2016 #81

Ah, no. It's a matter of Rice having exploited my community for profit, then berating us for her Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #102

Talks some sense into his followers? Skwmom Apr 2016 #6

Vampires don't have a reflection Beowulf Apr 2016 #82

To be fair, she's been a bit of a religious loony in the recent past... auntpurl Apr 2016 #7

This message was self-deleted by its author rjsquirrel Apr 2016 #11

I'd seen that too... NurseJackie Apr 2016 #14

From what I remember... auntpurl Apr 2016 #17

Yes but she did as you say, exploit homoerotic themes for $$$, then denigrate LGBT people for Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #21

I could go either way... auntpurl Apr 2016 #26

Big difference: Prince never claimed some candidate was God's choice. No politics for Prince, not Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #38

I'm sorry, but this Blue guy is lying through his teeth to you Tarc Apr 2016 #41

Thanks for the info. auntpurl Apr 2016 #51

I know, I've been an Anne Rice fanboy for years, and was pretty weirded out by her Catholic return Tarc Apr 2016 #60

I was a massive fan as a teenager auntpurl Apr 2016 #64

So you did not read any of that material and also did not pay attention to what she said but you Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #112

Lying about different things now? Tarc Apr 2016 #116

No, I'm not lying you nasty person, Anne Rice herself said she left her religion because she was Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #104

"...and that she had been anti gay prior to her leaving that faith" Tarc Apr 2016 #105

She joined an anti gay group for years, then her son came out then she said 'I can't be anti gay'. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #111

You are still lying Tarc Apr 2016 #113

All I have done is cited her own public statements. She lost many fans and lots of money and Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #120

No, you haven't, you rely on the "no one joins a bigoted group unless they agree with the bigotry" Tarc Apr 2016 #125

I believe her son came out and that actually changed her thinking on LGBTQ issues justiceischeap Apr 2016 #34

Evolving and vacillation are not the same things. Also, while I welcome those who 'evolve' I do not Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #43

I've never followed closely her career or life-events ... NurseJackie Apr 2016 #88

Why am I expected to care what Anne Rice says? hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #10

Even if they don't matter and aren't worth a bucket of spit they get printed and promulgated. mpcamb Apr 2016 #15

Why do you think anyone expects anything from you? NurseJackie Apr 2016 #19

She's previously been pro-equality but also anti equality, pro-gay then later anti gay, then later Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #22

Anne Rice was never at any time "anti-gay", what complete-arsed bullshit Tarc Apr 2016 #39

I guess you missed the Killer Mike threads. Starry Messenger Apr 2016 #25

All 116 of them. nt Bobbie Jo Apr 2016 #66

You mean the ones packed to the gills with people shouting that celebrity opinions don't matter? hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #139

Same reason people are supposed to think Sanders is a progressive standard? jus sayin uponit7771 Apr 2016 #76

Please explain. I don't follow your reason. hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #138

I was disappointed she went Sanders, afraid to see what she was saying in th Op cause I like her. seabeyond Apr 2016 #13

She's the definitive Hillary supporter, she's been pro-equality then very anti gay for Jesus and Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #18

She endorsed Sanders and said nothing until AFTER he lost. seabeyond Apr 2016 #20

Again: Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #24

You can say whatever you want. She endorsed Sanders and said nothing until after Sanders lost. seabeyond Apr 2016 #29

I can say it, but you refuse to respond to what I say, very Anne Rice Christian of you....again: Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #45

Because that is not the conversation I am having Blue. I stated something very simple. seabeyond Apr 2016 #67

So she's evolved. Orsino Apr 2016 #59

As did Sanders with marriage equality until 2009. That happens. Better than never evolving, ya think seabeyond Apr 2016 #94

Being this is the only issue that matters treestar Apr 2016 #75

treestar you are constantly confused by thinking people. I have personally talked to two Popes. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #100

I get it but treestar Apr 2016 #103

You need to climb off the platform. Hillary credited Ronald and Nancy Reagan both. Here's the quote Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #118

Why should I care what a second-rate author says? Luciferous Apr 2016 #16

Lots of short-sighted, clueless voters in the US, obviously Triana Apr 2016 #31

So I'm worse than a Republican according to Anne Rice. She can go to hell. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #32

I've seen some online Bernie supporters that are just as bad as Republicans justiceischeap Apr 2016 #37

I am first and foremost a citizen. I will support the best candidate. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #56

I love Anne Rice, have been in her FB Group for ages, saw much of this first-hand. Tarc Apr 2016 #33

Were you with her during her years of anti gay Christian activism? Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #98

As I posted out to the other DU'er earlier, you lied about this Tarc Apr 2016 #101

I am quoting her. She joined an anti gay group, stayed for years, her son came out and she left that Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #114

I'm not going to argue about your dishonesty on 3 different fronts Tarc Apr 2016 #117

Nope. That was my point. Orsino Apr 2016 #65

Pie in the sky is not an agenda. NurseJackie Apr 2016 #68

The change we desperately need, and the shrinking time we have to get it done... Orsino Apr 2016 #69

Because his "opponents" have enough integrity ... NurseJackie Apr 2016 #70

The commitment to corporate dominance is not the change we need. Orsino Apr 2016 #72

You're out of viable options. Our next president will be one of two contenders. NurseJackie Apr 2016 #74

No, we are not out of options. Orsino Apr 2016 #77

That's a healthy attitude. Good for you! I'm happy to see it! :-) NurseJackie Apr 2016 #80

That depends on how progressive you think the GOP could be. Orsino Apr 2016 #86

Got it. NurseJackie Apr 2016 #90
