2. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD NAME A BABY GIRL JOHNNIE?!!!! I AM SORRY, BUT I DO NOT FAVOR GAY PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIPS RAISING KIDS AT ALL. THEY ARE FREAKS IN MY EYES, AND JOHNNIE FOR A GIRLS NAME..SICK. I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD EVEN GIVE A FLY ABOUT THESE PEOPLE EITHER ' IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOMETHING INTERESTING IN THE NEWS.....NOT SOME FREAK SHOW ALL THE TIME!!!

3. Once again, pay attention:
Girls with girls=HOT,
Guys with guys=SICK.
Are we to assume that STEVE MILLER is the one who gave of his manly essence for this science expermient? Gutiar god in heaven, I hope not! And whom but some low-class cracker asses would name a girl Johnnie? Does "Johnnie" have a say in her orientation, or does her name insure that she will be a Butch fuzzbumper? Good luck growing up kids, I don't know but it looks like pretty soon the samesex squad will make it so EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO EAT AT THE "Y" AND SMELL THE ITCHY MAN STARFISH!

4. #2 Linda, why don't you tell us how you really feel?? Homophobe, bigot. What people do in their own personal life is their business not yours. YOU ARE NOT GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grow up already. If anyone and I mean anyone in this world is lucky enough to find love and commitment with someone, then more power to them. You are probably a closet case. Come out already. Be happy :-)

5. Well the name Johnnie for a girl is no more wrong than "Stevie" "billy jo" there are lots of girls with a name that is used for a boy....and what is wrong with gays raising children they are people too and can make loving parents......and who are we to judge them......it may not be my choice of a lifestyle.....and after all they are watched more closely than "straight" people.....in the child raising dept.......and god knows there are many "straights" who shouldn't have been parents......Good luck to Melissa, Tammy and the kids......(last father of Melissa's children was David Crosby......I haven't heard of any wrong doing in the care of these children.....

6. My Grandmother's name was Johnnie, born in the early 1900's. Funny, I don't remember anyone indicating my great grandparents were low-class cracker asses. A name does not reflect who you are or who you will become; your actions as a human being speak volumes.

7. I agree Vicki; I have a great-aunt named Johnnie who was born in the 1940's. She happens to be named after her father, who was never called a low-class cracker ass. Anyone can be good parents if they want to be...straight, gay or otherwise. Who are we to judge? We are all equal in God's eyes.

8. Johnnie IS a stupid name for a girl. I hope those kids won't end up being gay or fag. Milissa, get a nose job!

9. I also have an Aunt named Johnnie, also a niece that was named after my late Father Jess, we named her Jessie. I love the old names that really mean something. What about Apple, and a lot of the really dumb names these kids will have to be teased about.

10. I just love that these 2 woman have 2 little girls now in their lives. When people who have been trying to have kids for years cannot have them and sometimes do not have the money to adopt. THis is the kinda crap that makes me sick...

Why is it that you and your hero Rosie assume that everyone else in the world is"just a little gay"? Not everyone is bent that-a-way. You act as if the only "sensitive" people in the world are NOT normal. Being gay doesn't mean that everyone else is NOT happy with whom they are. I think it is SICK that normal people who want to be a Mom and a Dad are made to feel by people like you that they have committed a crime, when the only "crime" here is aganist nature, Same sex advocates are offensive to the laws of our Heavenly Father. God have mercy on your sick and sinful souls!

15. take some of that time spent judging people and volunteer at a homeless shelter or raise money to fight cancer or pay attention to world events-Tammy and Melissa most likely will never raise your taxes, or deplete our natural resources or send your children to fight a war with madmen, but other people will
