76. Being gay is hard enough in private with the population siding toward straight!
being gay in the public eye opens you up for more then the average amount of negative feedback in regard to your choices in life!

you cant avoid it,even if you become everyones puppet you still cant measure up! thats just life and dealing with people!

to judge gay people is wrong as christians becouse not only are we told not to judge others,but you can not love someone and be judging them at the same time!
I have meet alot of people who are so bible minded they can tell you any verse against gays off the top of their heads and were correct in their passages,
but I couldnt feel the love and warm of god coming from them!

being straight or gay,do people feel the love and warm of god flowing out of your words,expressions and your touch of just being human?

do you give off a joy and peace that draws people to you?Jesus last commandment was that ..we love each other as ourself.

YOU CANT LOVE ANYONE...AND BE JUDGING THEM AT THE SAME TIME....NOT REAL LOVE!

I was a gay basher,I protested against gay rights and went with churches to protest gay events and even got people not to rent and some thrown out for being gay in my neighborhood. I wouldnt allow my children to play with kids with gay parents or those who defended it!

One day,God changed my life by sending someone who had such a gentle,kind, spirit that I COULDNT PISS OFF!

She told me that I really didnt understand what Christ was! and what real love is.
that she knew I was very afraid and not a hater.I now 16 years later work with people to overcome the fear and judgements directed toward gays. judging only stops the flow of peace and love from coming through us and opens a door up to hurt and anger being pushed out toward others!..My email is oceanside5000@yahoo.com I have helped alot of others get past the fear and judgements against gays...this entire Tammy stroller thing is only a place to cast judgement and escape our own demons by juding others!

77. To Orrin:
Tammy has fans in foreign countries and I am one of them.
I have seen her shows and she IS a good actress. I like her blogs and what she writes. Tammy is sweet, she is down to earth and she does not take anything she has for granted.

You on the other hand sound like a flamming queen full of ENVY that somebody has what you want and obviously dont have: fame and money!
Your rantings about Tammy Etheridge dont exactly put you in a very positive light and they have done nothing to dent MY impression of Tammy as a sweet, sincere, intelligent, honest and above all, real person.

78. Jeanie: This may be a tough fact of life for you to swallow, but no matter how passionately you may believe in Jesus as your Saviour, not everyone shares that belief, and no amount of verbal bullying on your part is going to change what people believe is the truth for them.
I dont share your belief in Christ, but I respect that your belief is important to you. I too, have every right to ask the same level of respect form you.
I do believe in God and I do believe that Christ is a messenger from God to humankind, but I do not believe that He is the only one, or even the most recent of God's devine messengers.

79. Just now really took a look at the photos posted of Etheridge and her twins!

those are alful photos and it was very mean to do that to anyone!

thats very mean to just snap photos of people off guard,thats rude for anyone to do! they are posted next to cruise and alot of other famous planned baby shots!...how cruel!...I would be pissed to!! then run them next to dressed up stars and their baby!!

and here comes two worn out moms,dressed like everyone does on a lets just hurry and get home day! I now really agree with Roseys website....they will get photos anyway!

Post them on your own site,so you can take control of what and when they are seen!..the forbitten fruit wont taste as good OR cost near as much if you are controling it now!!

I felt bad when I saw those pictures!...THATS JUST MEAN!

I would die if those were of me all over!!
that was a very ugly thing to do to anyone!!....shame on you ..mr nosey butt!
your mother should have taught you some manners!

80. These people need to be given a LOT more credit than they have been. Here's 2 people that WANTED to have children and had to take EXTRA steps to do so. These kids are very lucky in that they were WANTED, PLANNED and will be very loved and taken care of. But because they are lesbians, they get bashed.
How can this be worse than sooooo many other hetero's who have children out of one night stands or bad unloving relationships etc.
The most important thing is that they have loving parents.

And one more thing...I am sure everyone who has kids has done something they 'shouldn't have' or that others thought they shouldn't have done. Let's all get down off of our ego trips. Just be glad that your every move isn't scrutinized by the world.

81. I am liberal to a point but two lesbians raising little boy babies is fucked up. Obviously when these babies grow up they will wind up on a psych couch or worse. It is basically a heterosexual society and I can only imagine what will happen to these poor kids when they get to be teenagers.

82. To be honest the picture is a little scary. It's not as bad as having the baby in the front seat of the car while driving, give them a chance, they just got started,lets wait and see what happens next. Dont judge mell on that one miss hap, she seems nice to me, i wish her and her family all the best in every thing she does.

83. first of all its NOT twin BOYS its a boy and a girl!!second of all who are we to judge them? Melissa and Tammy are already moms and they do better than some of the straight couples. then theyre is something called privacy! I don't care who the father of the babies is, As long as theyre healthy and in a loving family, and omg that they are! I am gay myself and me and my wife are raising a son, and he is more happy now then he ever was!! He tells us all the time, that he is proud to have two moms!! So I think you people (with the narrow minds) need to grow up, and wake up and step into the year 2007 and accept that straight people aren't rulling the world anymore!! I love Tammy and Melissa! CONGRATS ON YOURE OSCAR MELISSA!! YOU ROCK!!
