Having the Gays

By Stacy

An odd little piece from TMZ on Mandisa's booting:

(April 6, 5:20PM ET) -- America's shocking decision to vote Mandisa off 'American Idol' Wednesday night was not a shock at all to those backstage. Sources connected with 'Idol' tell TMZ the buzz behind the scenes last night was Mandisa getting the boot had nothing to do with her performance -- it was all about her openly anti-gay affiliations.

According to TMZ sources, lots of Hollywood types were backstage, including agents, PR flacks, managers and special guests. And the sentiment was clear; as one person put it, "Once you don't have the gays - forget about it."

Well, we don't know about that, but we do adore the statement "once you don't have the gays - forget about it" so much that we're putting it on a tshirt.

Before someone freaks out and accuses us of being from California (?), do note that while we consider Mandisa a hyperreligious nit, well on her way to nutjob-ness, we highlight the above "don't have the gays" statement for its utter ridiculousness and complete divorcement from reality.

Let us know if that was too many big words and we'll break it down for you.

 

Comments

'course in the right circle Beth Moore is referred to more as a 'Christian author and lecturer' instead of a 'anti-gay author and lecturer'.

Mandisa says she's not big on the gays, but she's not into the hate either.

Also: Best. T-Shirt. Ever.

How about leaving your "gay" comments to yourself. No one, I mean on one cares about what you put on your stupid t-shirt. This competition is about performing not preaching your "gay" thing. Sorry.

And yet, you cared enough to leave a comment. I'm sensing a little hostility. Perhaps a secret in your closet, making you tense, YaH?

Ace just got to go! But his "good album-cover looks" may keep him around. Very unfornate for us.

Ace is gone! All is right in the World.

It's sad but Paris maybe next. I personally think the "ballsz" girl should go. But Simon is trying his best to "bokin" her so he wants to keep her around for another week or two.
But if this is a singing contest then she should be going next week.
