Mother Etheridge

Rocker/survivor Melissa Etheridge and her partner Tammy Lynn Michaels took their tiny twins, Johnnie Rose and Miller Steven out for a stroll on tony Montana Avenue in Santa Monica on Thursday.

The twins, conceived through an anonymous sperm donor, were born in October. Etheridge has two children with former partner Julie Cypher, who conceived with sperm provided by rock legend David Crosby.

16. Tammy is freaking out about that picture on her illiterate Blog. She mentions it's a "cheapie" stroller just in case anyone would dare think it was their normal standard. For a woman who pretends she doesnt care what others think she sure spends so much of her time soothing her own ego when caught off guard.

17. I wish people would get off their backs !!! Let them go out for pizza without harassment, let them have a life outside of ugly comments. Live and let live. What are people so afraid of? And should Tammy ever get her own talk show, we will watch!!

Sometimes I think you put the title Lesbian before calling us Human, parents, friends and family.

Get ready people.. Your fears are coming true, our children are talented, loved, Intelligent, care for, but most of all WANTED. And with that they will reflect our strength.

18. Melissa Etheridge &Tammy Lynn Michaels Etheridge,

Move to Vancouver, BC. You will find the peace you need. We moved from the US, and no regrets. Great place to live in a country that is truly FREE. And Human rights are not just words.

19. if u read tammy's blog, it says on there it says

all we wanted was some pizza to take home. so while we waited, we grabbed our brand new cheapie stroller out of the back, cuz quite frankly.... the babies are big, and Miller is so heavy that we can't hold him long without our arms falling off. so as we waited, we stuck him in a stroller where he promptly fell asleep. and the photographer grabbed some of those shots... and now suddenly what was just a marital discussion ("Should we put them in it? It's too big, but it's just for a second while our sick and recovering butts wait for food... Okay, maybe, what do you think? Hmmm...." you know- those marital discussions.....). it turns into a snapped image with no explanation; and then the strangers who have time to look online at others' lives... they leave comments.... or, rather, insults, crowing with smug self-satisfaction and ignorance. their fantasies have quickly grown into facts in their own minds.

There good parents leave them alone to live there life. there gay so that makes them bad parents bollocks! and there are lots of straight parents and dont know who there dad is y is this any different. GROW UP and stop being so NARROW MINDED!!!!

21. Have you seen Tammy's blog, she's sooooooooo upset people are discussing the fact that the kid is in an inappropriate stroller. She sounds like a right nasty piece. Poet!?!?!? yeah right love.... keep dreaming!

22. It never ceases to amaze me how people who have NOOO idea what they are talking about are so willing to share their ridiculous opinions. I am confident that Tammy and Melissa are intellegent and thick skinned enough to recognize some of these imbecilic comments for what they are......the rantings of uninformed haters. It looks like Tammy and Melissa are doing an EXCELLENT job and those are two lucky little babies!!!!!

23. What's hilarious to me is that Tammy Lynn posted about these photos in her blog and is upset by the comments here. Well, Tammy Lynn, if people such as yourself didn't visit these blogs to check up on celebrity lives ... then they wouldn't be nearly as popular. So, stop making your click count here. Stop looking at other celebrity's lives.

The paparazzi go after celebrities because there is a morbid curiosity about how the other half live. I'd gladly trade in my privacy if it meant I could pay my house payment, car payment, and insurance and not have to worry about whether or not I can still eat that week. It's a trade off. It's horrible and dangerous and a total invasion of personal space, but it's a trade off all the same.

Be happy, Miss Tammy, that you can afford to clothe your children, give them everything they want, can provide medical care without question (I can't afford the surgery that I need and my insurance won't pay it) and most of all, be glad that people are still interested in what you're doing. If you ever want to make a comeback ... people need to remember who you are.

26. Moms of twins ROCK!!! I also have boy/girl twins (and a singleton) and I think Melissa and Tammy should be applauded for their parenting skills - it's not an easy job! Just taking 2 babies ANYWHERE is a chore. Those 2 babies are lucky to have 2 moms to take care of them!

27. Children need both a mother and a FATHER in order to grow up well balanced and healthy. Now, before you people get mad and jump all over me, hear me out... I am NOT saying that I am better than anyone else because I am a heterosexual.
ALL people are sinners and need forgiveness from others and especially from God. But homosexuality is a SIN, just as the Bible says it is. It is called PERVERSION. Remember that word? Interesting how you never hear that word, any more.
People need to be loved and accepted for who they are, whether they are gay or not, just like people need to be loved and accepted with whatever shortcoming they have. But don't call perversion a good thing, because it is NOT. Being gay is nothing to be proud of. I pity gay people and I DO love them.

28. Too bad all this negative energy can't be channeled in a positive way. What a waste. This world sure could use it.
Two committed, loving parents. Two babies who are beautiful, who were definately planned for, wanted and worked very hard for ...what in the world could be wrong with that?

29. Tom, (so as not to be mistaken for anyone else...poster #9) at least these kids can be certain that they were not mistakes. They were wanted and planned and will certainly be loved. Would you want that they had parents like the ones who just got jail time for keeping their foster kids in cages? Or the mother who pimped out her 12 year old daughter for drug money? Or how about the white supremist couple who can't see any other person as an equal to themself? The list of unwanted parents is way too long to list. Teaching your children intolerance and hate puts you on that list.

30. I pity ignorant, straight people. How could loving someone ("genuinely" loving someone, not just saying the words) be more perverse than blind, stupid, arrogant, hatred. Being a lesbian, working with kids for 20 years, I was a MUCH better "father" than the bastards that abused, neglected, and abandoned the children that I touched. I am certain that Johnnie, Miller, Bailey & Becket are much better off where they are than with the frightening people that berate Tammy and Melissa!!!! YOU PEOPLE SCARE ME!!!!
