Anne Heche's Mom Publishes Anti-Gay Book With Levitical Call For Death To Gays
Anne Heche's Mom Publishes Anti-Gay Book With Levitical Call For Death To Gays

Ex-Gay Watch reports that Nancy Heche, mother of wacko actress Anne Heche, has co-authored an anti-gay compendium titled The Complete Christian Guide To Understanding Homosexuality.

Joe Dallas and Nancy Heche are listed as the general editors. Though most of the book is written by Joe Dallas and Nancy Heche, contributing authors are listed as: Alan Chambers, Paul Copan, Melisa Fryrear, Mike Haley, Bill Maier and Randy Thomas. All of whom, with the exception of Paul Copan (to my knowledge), are or were speakers at Love Won Out conferences.

EGW notes that the book contains the usual Levitical call for homosexuals to be put to death. So why hasn't Nancy Heche murdered her daughter?

My interest in homosexuality can be traced to my 25-year marriage to a man who, unbeknownst to me, was living a secret second life as a homosexual. It was his AIDS diagnosis (and eventual death) that finally brought our the truth. Years later, I would be dealing with this issue again from a more public perspective as my daughter, actress Anne Heche, embarked on a well publicized lesbian affair .

Remember, we know the Bible is true because it says so in the Bible.

1. Sounds like there may be, whatchamacallit, some family
discord over in that bunch.

2. Their circular logic makes me dizzy.
"...the Bible is true because it says so in the Bible"? Sad, but true -- this is how these people think.

5. I've heard that Ann Heche has/had...
...serious mental health issues. If I'm not mistaken, I remember hearing that she
had multiple personality disorder.

Is it any wonder that Heche would have serious emotional difficulty with a monster mother like this?

Ann probably knew she was gay from a very young age, and then had to spend most of her years growing
up hearing how evil and sick people like her were, and how they should die.

That will wreck havoc on a person's sense of safety and security--which can lead to all sorts of
mental illness.

Her mother is toxic, and I hope that Ann has found peace, support and a loving family in friends and others with whom
she surrounds herself. She deserves it.

6. She's also lost a sister to brain cancer and a brother in a car accident.

Oh, and her double-life leading father was Baptist minister.

7. anyone remember Doonesbury c 1974 and the door to door pollster?
He asks the white woman who answers the door what she thinks of African Americans. She goes on and on with these horrible stereotypes about how lazy and good-for-nothing they are, and then in the last frame her African American husband sticks his head out and asks, "Hon, who's there?"

When you're pissed at a loved one, I guess it's all too easy, and much more comforting, to fall back on stereotypes--even the most vile ones-- to explain their behavior.

Nancy Heche just sounds like one thoroughly betrayed, pissed off woman who sadly found an outlet of 20 million gay-bashing people to help her feel better about the apparently really shitty way her ex-husband treated her. Yes, people sometimes briefly _feel_ like murdering their cheating spouses. Most don't write books espousing the death penalty for their behavior.

Prejean had simialr issues with her father...he was gay or something like that, hence her fucked up logic and hatred.

9. The irony: By pushing "Christian" men into the closet, she is creating more victims like herself.
