Conservative Christian group enraged over Wynonna singing to lesbians!
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 01:28 AM by plastic_turkeys
Singer Wynonna Judd is getting angry e-mails and threats of boycotts from conservative Christians riled up over her plans to perform for lesbian vacationers on an Olivia cruise liner. MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls reports that the Traditional Values Coalition calls Judd's plans to sing on a January 29-February 2 Olivia cruise "disgraceful" because it "conflicts with her professed Christian faith." The TVC Web site goes on to suggest that Judd has been "misled by the mainstream media on the origins of same-sex attractions and the self-destructive results of such attractions." TVC is asking its members to contact Judd to ask her to cancel the booking, saying, "Urge her to study what the Bible says in both the Old and New testaments about homosexuality...to learn how faith in Christ has set men and women free from bondage to this life-controlling condition." A spokeswoman for Judd told Walls, "We have no comment on that at this time." Repeated calls to Olivia were not returned to Advocate.com.

1. I once ran into a preacher in a bar
I asked him what he was doing there. He said I can save more souls here than I can in church. Whats the moral of this story? I have no idea, I just thought it fit with this article.

9. Like EXgay leader John Paulk doing "research" in a D.C. gay bar?
The Republican "big tent" has big closets.

2. Maybe they are worried the audience will sneeze on her

And start another epidemic, like the one in the Oklahoma high schools.

THe CDC has been strangely silent on this matter.

4. But she's singing to people like Mary Cheney!
Don't traditional values types support the vice-president's daughter?

5. Wynonna Judd is singing on an
Olivia Cruise liner? Well. Well. Well. May she enjoy herself. However, didn't she expect this reaction from her extreme "Christian" base? I don't get it. Oh, well. Maybe there's nothing to "get."

7. Do these people have a life? Are there not more terrible things happening
in the world they could focus their attention on? God, I wish, if there is a God, he, or she, would appear before these assholes and explain the "all God's children" theory and then smote them.

12. Has the goose gone out of Wynonna's goose-step?
This is so funny, the blowhards bitch that celebrities are trying to control the masses with their access to the media, but then the masses try to control the celebrities with boycotts etc. What's good for the goose is good for the fascists.
