Zarf Transforms "The View"

Rosie O'Donnell wasn't the only lesbian rocking the stage at a recent "View" taping.Click to return to TMZ.com
TMZ has learned that after the taping of an episode of the chat show, audience members were kept in the studio for a performance by "All My Children's" resident male-to-female transgendered British lesbian rockstar, Zarf/Zoe/Freddy. The "View" set doubled for a fictional episode of Erica Kane's own Pine Valley talker, "New Beginnings."

In the episode which aired Tuesday, Erica (Susan Lucci) introduced Zarf -- now referred to as Zoe -- who sang "The Me Inside" to a packed house of shocked Long Island yentas and vacationing midwestern housewives. Sources at the taping tell TMZ that many in the audience seemed bewildered by Zarf and the performance.

Like they've never seen a man dressed like Doris Roberts on New Year's Eve!

46. TMZ supports discrimination against lesbian, gay, transgender, and bisexual people. This articles proves it. The hate is SHAMEFUL and DISGRACEFUL. There are many people that come on to this site so they can get there fill of hate to be validated. TMZ is all too willing to give it to them and they eat it up.LGBT people are normal. They are natural. They are great.

47. #46 I've got some real bad news for ya. This stuff was never ever normal no matter what you say. Pushing this down peoples throats as normal brings out the bigots. Keep it to yourself 99% of people don't care and they just don't want to know. It's okay if you do just shutup about it, you hate it when people push God down your throats!!!!

48. Don't ask, don't tell. We didn't ask, and we don't want to know. Stop shoving this shim down our throats!

49. #31 Ray-
Calling someone a "freak" shows just how closed- minded truly you are. Try not calling people names unless you've gotten to know them and know what you're talking about.

50. #45. "They are natural". Actually NO. They are NOT natural. It is UNnatural to be gay, lesbian, or whatever, other than straight. Straight is natural. It is the way we reproduce NATURALLY. To say that being anything other than straight is natural is a huge slap in the face. Not saying that ANYONE doesn't have feelings, but to say it is natural is obsurd.

51. I am so sick of this disgusting story line. I won't even watch it either after 36 yrs. Now
you have a lesbian in love with a guy who wants to be a girl, so in essence they are in
a heterosexual relationship. Trust me AMC needs to lose this story line. Leave this
garbage to the Oxygen channel. I don't appreciate this agenda being shoved down my
throat every day. This is for special interest groups only , of which of am not a member.
The majority of this shows viewers are still baby boomers like myself and could care less
about being PC. Please AMC fans unite and lobby for this crap to go away for good.

52. I emailed BW when she hired Rosie and said that The View would tank. I stopped watching when Star left. The View had no chance with Rosie's on the show. Rosie's vulgarity, obsession with everything gay or lesbian, and bullying of others on the show was a real turnoff. Trump was right.

53. #50 - Actually, the fact that homosexuality occurs in nature does in fact, make it natural. Straight is natural to you, attraction to the same sex is natural and normal to them. It's a huge slap in the face? Huh? Please explain . . .

54. #46 - Visibillity in public does not mean that a different lifestyle is being pushed down your throat. Why should anyone who is not harming anyone, who is living their own life keep who they are to themselves? To keep ignorant, closed minded people comfortable? Bigots are who they are, and they are going to spew their miserable opinions no matter what. They don't need any sort of trigger whatsoever.

Lenn K you are anti-gay. Whenever there is a story about LGBT people on this site you come on to say your nasty comments even though you don't know anything about it.

The people that are posting negative comments never watched the show. They just want to say what they "think" about homosexuality.

57. The lot of you are off your trollies! It's a show and yes it does bring up some controversial materials but to be so hateful to one and other? I'm a bamfan and so yes, I'm pissed off about the pairing and yes I'm a lesbian and I don't get how Bianca can love Zarf while he's still physically a man but to cut everybody down by being mean. Give me a break!

58. THIS PERFORMANCE WAS NOT ON THE VIEW!!! IT WAS ON ALL MY CHILDREN. THEY USED THE VIEW STUDIO AND TRANSFORMED IT TO THE NEW BEGINNINGS STUDIO. AMC GOT THEIR OWN LIVE AUDIENCE. THIS WAS AN ALL MY CHILDREN PRODUCTION NOT A VIEW PRODUCTION.
