Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cracks Lesbian Code


ELIZABETH HASSLEBECK X390 (GRAB) | ADVOCATE.COM

The View's Elizabeth Hasselbeck says she knows why lesbians come out later in life: there are simply no available men.

Her theory is that older men tend to date younger women, "leaving older women with no one," she said.

"Being gay is not just holding hands and walking through the tulips," Joy Behar retorted. "I don't think you suddenly wake up one day and say, 'Oh, I wanted to do that.' You wanted to do it, but you were just trapped in a system that has just said, 'get married.'"

    Oh big time, closet case. I think she needs to have some hot conservative friend of hers lay her back and have a go at her, maybe then she'll shut the hell up. You know the only thing I do wonder about though is what Melissa Etheridge said to her that night over dinner to get her to stop and think. I imagine they fought for hours since there was probably no one esle there to interrupt them. Hmm, and this is me just being curious, but what if all that fighting lead to more that night. I'm so bad.

    I agree somewhat with Hasselbacks observations. I apppears to me that most lesbians are either unattractive, very defensive and/or agressive women or overweight. They are tired of dealing unsuccessfully with men and look for a woman who they can dominate or not have to work so hard to be with (since both are usually needy). Female homosexuality and male homosexualityare birds of a different color. Males are seeking sexual gratification. The women are seeking more to be loved, understood and affirmed. Both are immature sexual responses.

    Such a homophobe. Do you hate Asians, Hispanics and African Americans too? What about non Christians?

    I can't stand that Elizabeth. She's so dumb sometimes. Her opinions, in my opinion. I guess you need to balance everyone out, so you're not getting everyone around the table agreeing on everything. Although, I must admit, that I did respect her somewhat during the episode with, Barack Obama. You could hear in her tone, and see in her body language how nervous she was. To me that shows how respectful and awed by the most powerful man in the world, and one of the greatest presidents we have had.

    Please don't speak for the entire Christian community. Speak for yourself and own your statement Georgia. Hatred last time I look in the Bible was not part of Christ's sermon. Also, if you are going to say it's wrong then make sure you follow the other rulings on what's an abomination. Don't eat shrimp and other shell fish, don't eat pork and don't work on the Sabbath. You can't pick and choose. You don't know about my relationship with G-d for you to speak about who will be in and who be out. That's between me and G-d. Judge not leastt you be judge. I fear that many who profess to know may be in for a surprise. Love is the gospel not hatred.

    BW from Georgia, I find it REALLY interesting, being the Christian that you are claiming to be that you appear to frequent a known gay publication.....the thought that you might also identify as gay, or be closeted and that self hating is just incredibly sad...may be you should seek counseling on this conflict....and if you're not LGBT and have the nerve to reply in this venue, please, take your intolerance elsewhere...possibly consider going to confession and asking forgiveness for judging and condemning others...I find it so very very sad that your Christians seem to forget so often that Jesus preached love not intolerance and hate

    I can't believe what I just heard. Has Hasselbeck have no brains at all? I could never watch that Show because I have the ability to think. I have never heard anyone with any kind of intelligence talk the way she does, about everything. I don't know who she's blowing to be able to stay on that show, but she does suck. In her opinion and who gives a shit anyway what she is really saying is being Gay is a choice. Take a few steps back is what she's asking her audience to believe. Please loose that dumb bitch!

    So far I've given her the benefit of the doubt. Not anymore. She has proven to me she's a lost case.
