Fundies threaten Judd over show for Lesbians

Dick Cheney's daughter isn't the only one caught up in a lesbian controversy. Singer Wynonna Judd is being bombarded with e-mails from conservative Christians, urging her to cancel her engagement to perform aboard a cruise ship devoted to lesbian vacationers. If Judd doesn't cancel, some are saying she might face a boycott.

The popular country star is scheduled to sing on a Caribbean cruise Jan. 29 through Feb. 2 sponsored by a company called Olivia, which, according to its web site, is "dedicated to providing high quality, safe vacations for lesbian travelers."

The Traditional Values Coalition is calling Judd's engagement "disgraceful," saying it "conflicts with her professed Christian faith" and suggests that Judd has been "misled by the mainstream media on the origins of same-sex attractions and the self-destructive results of such attractions."

1. Are these same bigots boycotting Bush/Cheney?

[XanaDUer]

2. Ummm

what if there are gays in other audiences who heard her sing? Or, is it just upsetting to Fundies because this is an "officially gay" sponsored event?

And, wth are fundies so obsessed with any and all aspects of sex and sexuality?

3. Lesbians aren't allowed to listen to music now, either.

And I suppose there are no lesbians at concerts, or anywhere else in America for that matter. Right?

[XanaDUer]

4. Right!

I mean, gays and atheists and all other pagans could potentially even hear her sing on TV!

6. Well, just not music

that homophobes listen to. You know, the gay waves might be transferred over their SUV radios.

5. I know for a fact that one of her backup singers is gay.

He's been with her for a long time and before he joined her he was big in the black gospel music industry. I don't think she cares or she wouldn't have hired him.

7. Maybe Wynona's Wonderful Sister Ashley Has Been In Her Ear...

instead of the mainstream media. Ashley is the antidote to the hateful Naomi.

8. Sweeeeeeeet.

9. They're the same fundies

that "gently" persuaded her to get married.

10. Wynonna doesn't strike me as a woman who can be pushed!

My take on her personality is that if they scream louder, she'll become even more resolute. I'm sick of conservative Christians acting like they own the fucking world!

11. rumors of wynonna

sexual preferences have circulated in cw circles for along time and that latest thing is nothing that would shock anyone who knows anything about her.but who gives a shit? she has one of the all time great singing voices in country music and that is all that really matters..
