“I’m
still
the
Patti
LaBelle
who
accepts
gay
people,
while
a
lot
of
churches
won’t
accept
gay
people.
My
hair
stylist
is
gay
and
wears
an
earring
in
his
ear,
and
one
of
the
churches
[I
performed
at]
said,
‘You
have
to
take
that
earring
out
of
your
ear,’
and
I
said,
‘No,
no.’
...
Everybody
should
be
accepted
...”

LaBelle,
who
just
released
her

album

“Soy
is
feminizing,
and
commonly
leads
to
a
decrease
in
the
size
of
the
penis,
sexual
confusion
and
homosexuality.
That’s
why
most
of
the
medical
(not
socio-spiritual)
blame
for
today’s
rise
in
homosexuality
must
fall
upon
the
rise
in
soy
formula
and
other
soy
products
...
Homosexuals
often
argue
that
their
homosexuality
is
inborn
because
‘I
can’t
remember
a
time
when
I
wasn’t
homosexual.’
No,
homosexuality
is
always
deviant.
But
now
many
of
them
can
truthfully
say
that
they
can’t
remember
a
time
when
excess
estrogen
wasn’t
influencing
them.”

Rutz

an
op-ed
piece

“I
have
struggled
with
homosexuality
since
I
was
a
5-year-old
boy
...
I
can’t
tell
you
the
number
of
nights
I
have
cried
myself
to
sleep,
begging
God
to
take
this
away.”

“He’s
a
fag.
He
tried
to
dap
me
up
before
the
game.
He’s
soft
though.
I
don’t
pay
attention
to
him.”

“You
know,
that
was
probably
a
poor
choice
of
words.
So
if
I
offended
anybody,
I
apologize
for
that
...
I
don’t
know
...
I
guess
because
how
we
used
that
word
freely,
me
growing
up
using
that
word,
I
didn’t
think
anything
of
it.
Like
I
said,
I
apologize
to
anyone
I
may
have
offended.
I
didn’t
mean
to
offend
anybody
but
Kellen
Winslow.
That’s
pretty
much
that.
I
don’t
want
to
put
any
more
into
it.
...
Whatever
I
say
is
going
to
be
on
an
extra
level
anyway.
But
like
I
said,
I
didn’t
think
it
was
that
big
of
a
deal
when
I
said
it
anyway.
So
it’s
over
with
it.”

Porter’s
apology

“We
curse
the
spirit
that
would
come
to
bring
about

We
ask
you
to
just
look
over
this
place
today,
cause
them
to
be
shaken
in
their
very
heart
in
uprightness,
Lord,
to
do
that
is
right
before
you.”

“Why
is
it
necessary
for
them
to
wipe
out
my
existence
in
order
for
them
to
have
their
success?
It’s
scary
that
they
can
be
so
cruel.
I
know
it’s
business,
but
why
do
they
have
to
go
to
this
extreme?
I’m
a
human
being.
I
need
to
work
too.
Why
do
I
have
to
die
to
make
them
a
winner?”
