The updated version of Donna Summer......
There are a lot of them around. That kind of hatred is a disease.

DONNA SUMMER! Thanks Eastie!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was about to ask who it was back in ancient disco era before electricity who did that! I heard a bit about her from old friends. Also was at a bar in Chicgo 3 yrs ago where a drag queen came out doing one of summer's songs. People booed and threw crap at her and the owner threw her off the stage --- all being funny so she could get back up and do a hilarious anti-gay religious routine.

I just did some reading about it all that Eastie. There was a nine year lapse between when New York Magazine published quotes by DS and her first public statement denying it ever happened. The magazine refused to publish a retraction. She sued but the whole thing was settled out of court and never disclosed to the public. It was only after that she decided to make her statement.
It's worth noting she was a preacher's daughter and a life member in the AME church, a black denomination known for teaching that homosexuality is "a white man's disease" that has been spread to blacks. I've even been present to hear older black christians say this and there are references to it on the internet.
Knowing that homophobia based in superstitions and sanctioned by by black churches is a subject that is not often addressed due to knee-jerk accusations of racism... and the long delay between the article, the refusal to publish a retraction and her statement about it..... I ask ... Cui Bono? who stood to benefit from publishing the ariicle, issuing no retraction, the court action and waiting so long to offer a statement.
I have to agree with Eastie. It all benefitted Donna Summer the most.

LOL, it's funny cause this girl is obviously an idiot, but "it's ok" as an italian I think it's very common to hear this kind of bullshit. In the last week I think I've read more than a pair of similar things from italian starlettes or nullity like this one, and the most "funny" thing is some of these asshole are member of italian government. And they can say racist and xenophobe things without any problem... Sometimes I hear about a member of British or US government who is obliged to resignation for act for much less...
